| Oct 13, 2021 at 21:37 | comment | added | Girish Kulkarni | This question was discussed in detail in Glauber's Nobel lecture: journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.78.1267 .The short answer is that it is NOT photons that interfere. It is the complex probability amplitudes corresponding to source to detector paths that interfere. | |
