Journal ArticleYoung's double-slit interference demonstration with single photonsLuo, Bill J; Francis, Leia; Rodríguez-Fajardo, Valeria; Galvez, Enrique J; Khoshnoud, Farbod<p>This article presents a table-top experiment that acquires the interference pattern from single photons passing through a double-slit. The experiment is carried out using the heralded, single-photon experimental setup now affordable and fairly common in advanced instructional laboratories. By scanning a single-photon detector on a translation stage, this experiment is implemented without the need of an expensive gate-intensified CCD camera. The authors compare the acquired single-slit and double-slit interference patterns to predicted ones and include a quantum eraser measurement. The experiments are dramatic demonstrations of wave-particle quantum effects and are excellent additions to the collection of single-photon experiments that have been developed over the past several years for the advanced instructional laboratory curriculum.</p>American Institute of Physics2024-04-0110525470American Journal of Physics924308 to 3160002-9505https://doi.org/10.1119/5.01791312011937National Science Foundation
