Abstract
A general approach is formulated for analyzing algebraic models of quantum composite systems with an internal symmetry described by group G. The case G = SU(2) is examined in detail as applied to the analysis of polarization invariance in quantum optics. A new class of fully depolarizable quantum states of light (scalar biphotons) is defined and investigated. Certain interactions of scalar biphoton light with material media are considered in the context of Dicke and Jaynes-Cummings models.
