Which risk arises when measuring entangled photons' polarization?

💡 Explanation

Measuring one photon collapses the wave function of both, because quantum entanglement links their states irrespective of distance through instantaneous correlation; therefore, the original superposition is lost from both photons rather than maintaining their superposition.
