I'd like to clarify my concepts about how a electron probability wave works. For a light wave, we can say that there is a destructive interference produced as and when the trough coincides with the crest of suitable amplitude. But since there can't be negative probabilities, how can there be a destructive interference pattern be observed in the experiment? What is the physical meaning of a trough and crest in a probability wave? What opposite character do they posses? Thus, how does the destructive interference take place?
I've read a little bit of Feynman; and could make out that it is related to complex numbers. I know the basics, so can make some sense outa why probability =|[itex]\Psi[/itex]|[itex]^{2}[/itex]
If possible, please try to make an explanation at my level, although I have a good idea about the basic principles of QM.
