Do EM waves transmit spin polarization? Suppose you have a normal dipole antennae (transmitter and receiver) . Spin polarized current (as opposed to normal current) is sent into the transmitter, it emits an EM wave and the Receiver receives it. Will the charge carriers in the receiver become spin polarized as well? In other words, will the spin polarization of the transmitter current have some effect on the receiver, like for example imposing the spin polarization on the receiver carriers by means of making EM radiation circularly polarized?   
I am aware that this effect is possible using certain semiconductors. But I am talking about a normal metal chunk used as the antennae. I am wondering whether the spin polarization of the transmitter current will have any effect on the receiver on a deeper level: using principles of Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Electrodynamics? (I don't know anything about QFT and QED btw)
 A: A relevant study: see the following work;
Universal spin-momentum locking of evanescent waves by
Machelan T.V. and Jacob Z.; Univ. of Alberta, Canada And Purdue Univ.
From the abstract: 

We  show  the  existence  of  an  inherent  property  of  evanescent  electromagnetic  waves:
   spin-momentum locking, where the direction of momentum fundamentally locks the polarization of the wave.  We trace the ultimate origin of this phenomenon to complex dispersion and causality require-ments on evanescent waves.

From the introduction:

An  important  signature  of  the  recently  discovered  quantum  spin  hall   state  of  matter  is  the  existence  of
  electronic  surface  states  which  are  robust  to  disorder (non-magnetic  impurities) . This  property  arises  since  the spin of the electron is intrinsically locked to the direction of propagation (momentum) and the electrons cannot  back  scatter unless there is a spin-flip. [emphasis mine] Intriguingly, recent experiments have explored an analogous phenomenon in photonics showing polarization dependent directional propagation of optical modes in spontaneously emitted as well as scattered light. For example, experiments have shown that spontaneous emission from atomic transitions is preferentially uni-directed along a fiber depending on the magnetic quantum number of the excited state. On the other hand, surface plasmon polaritons excited with circularly polarized light have also demonstrated unidirectional propagation. [...]
A quantum field theoretic treatment has also recently shed light on the interesting spin properties of evanescent waves.[...]
  In analogy with the behavior of electrons in the quantum spin hall effect,  we call this phenomenon "spin-momentum locking".
