Young experiment: square of classical real wave function
I can't understand why the sum of two real waves result in a time dependent wave, but not so for the complex waves.
In details, I can't get this passage on p.38-39 in A.C. Phillips, Introduction to ...

Double slit experiment alternating holes
If we perform the double slit experiment by shoting photons covering one hole at a time, would we see equally the double slit interference?.
That is, the same set up of double slit but fire photons ...

Probability wave speed of dispersion and interference
I'm a layperson learning about quantum mechanics and probability waves. My understanding is that the probability wave for the position of a particle disperses throughout all of the universe.
I have ...

Triple slit experiment
If the experiment is done with single photons and a "detector" at one of the slits the interference pattern breaks down.
What happens if three slits are used with single photons and a "detector" at, ...

How Light or Water Intensity is equal to square modulus of wave function of Light or Water Waves $I=|\psi|^2 \,$?
I've seen the Wave Function as a psi $\Psi$ $\psi$.
And always heard that the wave function is the Complex Number as Imaginary and real number.
But I've never seen it
I've never seen components of ...

What's inside the slit in double slit experiment?
If double slit experiment is done in a environment with air, then slits could also contain air made up of (approx. 80% nitrogen, 20% oxygen), then there is not empty space inside the slit. How can it ...
