But as soon as their individual quantum wave passes through a double slit, two coherent expanding quantum waves are created for each individual photon. So those incandescent photons are not coherent. In a light bulb, all photons go their own individual course, each ‘guided’ by their own individual quantum wave. The laser photons all move in one single coherent quantum wave, unlike the light of, for example, an incandescent source like a light bulb. Coherent photonsĪ beam of laser photons is coherent, which lends laser light its special properties. The fact that the quantum wave theory works 100% correctly implies that all quantum systems exhibit quantum coherence. Where there is destructive interference this probability becomes zero.
Where there is constructive interference – a maximum intensity – the probability of finding the system in a certain state when measured is maximum. Or rather, because they show interference, the quantum wave medium, although it is not material, must be coherent. Quantum waves do exhibit interference because of the cohesion of its medium, just like physical waves do. In this context, read Quantum Phases an d Quantum Coherence by Dr Mae-Wan Ho. The imaginary (Im) and real (Re) components are not physical spatial coordinates. Coherent development of the quantum wave Ψ(a) along a single axis, the x-axis. Coherence, on the other hand, in waves in water or air or another element is a purely physical event where pushing and pulling forces are exerted on matter. The image below is therefore an image of a coherent non-material thing. And coherence, if you really think about it, is a curious property for non-material waves.
Quantum waves show coherence, in other words are coherent, just like waves on a water surface. In order to correctly calculate the course of the probability waves in time and place, it is necessary to assume coherence. The quantum mechanical description of the quantum wave is a complex vector depending on space and time. In quantum physics, the state of a system is defined by probability waves where the square of the amplitude (the deflection from the middle position ) represents the probability of finding the system in a particular state when measured. Complex quantum state wave and interference These coherent light waves are then able to cancel each other out at certain spots behind the double slit – destructive interference – or to amplify each other – constructive interference. The light coming from two slits in a double slit experiment is coherent because the slits act as equally phased vibrating sources of light. In physics, coherence is used to indicate the possibility of interference. Atoms that vibrate in phase, flocks of birds that continue to form a unit, a football team at its best, a wave that washes up on the beach.
