Abstract
An arbitrary polarization state of a single-mode biphoton is considered. The operationalistic criterion is formulated for the orthogonality of these states. It can be used to separate a biphoton with an arbitrary degree of polarization from a set of biphotons orthogonal to it. This is necessary for the implementation of quantum cryptography protocol based on the three-level systems. The experimental test of this criterion amounts to the observation of the anticorrelation effect for a biphoton with an arbitrary polarization state.Keywords
