An awe-inspiring journey from relativity to the Higgs field, showing how the universe creates everything from what seems like nothing at all.
Now finally, we come to the heart of the matter of quantum interference, as seen from the perspective of in 1920’s quantum physics. (We’ll deal with quantum field theory later this year.) Last time I looked at some cases of two particle states in which the particles’ behavior is independent — uncorrelated. In the jargon, […]

The quantum double-slit experiment, in which objects are sent toward and through a pair of slits in a wall,and are recorded on a screen behind the slits, clearly shows an interference pattern. It’s natural to ask, “where does the interference occur?” The problem is that there is a hidden assumption in this way of framing […]
