- Can there be classical interference without quantum? How? Is there mistake in my calculations showing there is no interference?
For a setup analogous to double-slit experiment, do I understand it correctly that if we have two photons, one going only through slit A and another going only through slit B simultaneously (or vice versa as they have a symmetrical wave function), then there will be no interference pattern created when this experiment is repeated many times, even providing the photons have the same phase?
If that is correct, how would then two coherent laser beams interfere, while one passing through the slit A and another through the slit B?
I.e. if in the experiment with two photons they roughly could hit any points on the screen, how then dark fringes where photons cannot land would appear for two laser beams?
