What is three-photon interference?
Whilst reading this paper on a quantum processor that performs a type of matrix computation, I came across the concept of 'three-photon interference'. A quick Google search shows that this process is ...

photon and Z boson interference?
I'm not certain that this question will make sense, but here goes...
In most monte carlo generators, when Z events are produced, there is a lower mass cutoff on the Z pole. I've been told that this ...

How to calculate the intensity of the interference of two waves in a given point?
There are two different point sources which produce spherical waves with the same power, amplitude, ω, wavenumber and phase.
I can calculate the intensity of each wave in a point:
$$
I_1 = P / (4 ...

What is the equation for condition of obtaining a bright spot in a wedge shaped film?
I want to know if the condition for obtaining a bright spot in a wedge shaped film is
$2 \mu t\cos(r+\theta)=(n+\frac{1}{2})λ$
or
$2 \mu t \cos(r+\theta)=(2n-1)λ/2$ .
$t$ = thickness
$r$ = angle ...

The interference of waves and factors that affect cancellation?
If you had two repeated disturbances on the surface of a water, I know interference will occur. However, if I move the two sources of disturbances closer together, why would the 'gaps' between each ...

Interference of 2 slit experiment when glass is put infront of 1 slit (+0.5 lambda optical path)
The question and answer is given in the image below:
I don't really understand how to work this out myself. How do I relate $+\frac{1}{2} \lambda$ to (phase difference) $\Delta\Phi = \pi$
UPDATE
