    Quantum has spin H V and R for Mr photon.   
   For a classical view spin H is horizontal   
   polarization spinning right or left like a   
   frezbee. V spin Vertical same deal but up   
   and down spin. R spin Rotation is   
   like a cork screw rotating clock wise or   
   counter clock wise.   
      
   Interest footnote. Our atmosphere a little   
   polarized depending on ones orientation .   
   To get around this NASA will throw a spin   
   ball , type R photon. This way at least some   
   of the photons will make it through the atmosphere.   
   The antenna is a disk with a cork screw in the center.
