AI总结：

本文通过对任意光场的偏振和纠缠进行定量分析，发现了一个普适的互补恒等关系，并通过惠更斯-施泰纳定理将其与质心和转动惯量等经典力学概念定量关联，从而在相干波动光学与经典力学之间架起了桥梁。

摘要：

虽然光学和力学是物理学的两个不同分支，但它们是相互联系的。众所周知，光的几何/光线处理与粒子运动的力学描述有直接的类比。然而，相干波动光学与经典力学之间的联系却鲜有报道。在这里，我们通过对两个光学相干特性——偏振和纠缠（由惠更斯和菲涅尔的光波动图像所暗示）进行定量分析，探索了任意光场中两者的联系。我们得到了一个普适的互补恒等关系。更令人惊讶的是，我们表明光的偏振、纠缠及其恒等关系，通过刚体转动的惠更斯-施泰纳定理，与质心和转动惯量的力学概念在定量上相关联。所得结果通过惠更斯的两个理论，在相干波动光学与经典力学之间架起了桥梁。

英文摘要：

While optics and mechanics are two distinct branches of physics, they are connected. It is well known that geometrical/ray treatment of light has direct analogies to mechanical descriptions of particle motion. However, connections between coherence wave optics and classical mechanics are rarely reported. Here we explore links of the two for an arbitrary light field by performing a quantitative analysis of two optical coherence properties: polarization and entanglement (implied by a wave picture of light due to Huygens and Fresnel). A universal complementary identity relation is obtained. More surprisingly, optical polarization, entanglement, and their identity relation are shown to be quantitatively associated with mechanical concepts of center of mass and moment of inertia through the Huygens-Steiner theorem for rigid body rotation. The obtained result bridges coherence wave optics and classical mechanics through the two theories of Huygens.
