I recently read that photons are bosons, i.e. that (in distinction to
fermions) any number of them can be acommodated in a given quantum
state.
Now the question I have is: If any number of photons can be acommodated
in a given quantum state, how is it that they can become entangled
(e.g. in their polarity)?
Thanks for your feedback (as you can see, I´m a beginner).

There are many quantum numbers for each object. A foton is neither an
object nor a subject, and is not a particle either, which is why it can
overlap in all respects with other fotons.
