1 Chapter. Quantum interference. Single photon interference b a Classical picture Quantum picture Two real physical waves consisting of independent energy quanta (photons) are mutually coherent and so they interfere. Each individual photon simultaneously exists in the two arms with finite probability amplitudes, which interfere. input state: after st B.S.: in B.S. unitary matrix basis vector a 0 b ket vector Two states are uncorrelated.

The connection between the theory & experiment is only via statistics of many, many measurement events. 0 Phase shift What interfere with each other are the two probability amplitudes of the linear superposition state, a 0 b and 0 a b. Origin of interference is the lack of information for which path a photon takes before it is detected. One photon interference does not distinguish a quantum picture from a classical picture based on two real physical waves. In order to see a truly quantum mechanical interference effect for which a classical picture fails, we need to study a multi-photon interference effect.. Symmetrization postulate and quantum indistinguishability C. Cohen-Tannoudji et al., Quantum Mechanics (John Wiley and Sons, New York, 977).. statement of the postulate The physical state of a system including several identical quantum particles are completely symmetric or anti-symmetric with respect to permutation of these particles. or (?) Identical quantum particles are indistinguishable. cf. c c c c if 0 Chapter-3 : boson : fermion (orthogonal) does not correspond to a physical state even though it is a mathematically legal state.

The theoretical possibility of distinguishing the particle and particle is enough to eliminate the quantum interference effect. Chapter-5
