| Jan 20, 2014 at 4:31 | comment | added | anna v | I think that for a medium to be transparent to a single photon all the interactions with the photon have to be coherent otherwise transparency will be lost. I would start with the energy conservation (the photon retains its frequency as seen when ensembles of photons go through) which means the interactions with the crystal must be elastic. If in the framework of ensembles there are interference patterns then the individual photon too will have the appropriate correlations of phase. Have a look at how classical em motls.blogspot.com/2011/11/… | |
