Modelling incoherent sources
Suppose some (coherent) light propagates onto a one-dimensional barrier with two open slits, each of length $\delta$ and separated by a distance $s$ (we can assume the centroid is known and placed at $...

Gaining Quantum information without destroying the coherence
I've read about new optical interference among several telescopes all around the globe. It is supposed to work by combining the quantum states of a photon A arriving at once in every telescope of the ...

Degree of first-order coherence doesn't imply always 100% visibility?
In classic books of quantum optics visibility of interference fringes (for example in Michelson interferometer) is equal to the modulus of the degree of first order coherence $g^{(1)}$, when the ...
