Abstract

An apparatus for a double-slit interference experiment in the single-photon regime is described. The apparatus includes a which-path marker that destroys the interference as well as a quantum eraser that restores it. We present data taken with several light sources, coherent and incoherent and discuss the efficacy of these as sources of single photons.

Young's double-slit experiment with single photons… : DASH Story 2021-03-09
I set up a group for adults to study astrophysics and quantum mechanics. The group is for adults who don't have access to or can't afford to go to University. We take turns giving lectures, discussing papers or working through book and textbook chapters. We often want up-to-date research papers to understand a result or an experiment. Thanks to the Harvard Open Access we found a perfect explanation.
