<p>I've been on your side of this issue for a long time since I
further believe the near field effects and resonant absorbers
unknown when Qm was first postulated show the small point
absorption of an atome for a spread out wave is a likely
explanation for the photon postulate. However Chip is makeing some
interesting arguments for a self confining Em propagation, how
self confined photons then explain the double slit interference
without the quantum baggage is then always a problem. <br>
</p>
<p>Of course your argument that more than one photon is necessary
for interference in a Mach Zender setup is perfectly correct but
experiments are always done with a beam so photons interfere with
each other - I do not know if single photon MZ experiments have
ever been done <br>
</p>
<p>Your slide on Einstein - I wonder if quantum effects are in fact
confined to the material of the instruments that are infact the
Hilbert space?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Hello
Everybody: Here is a potentially new “thread” for debate for
our community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">“Can a
single indivisible photon interfere?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">My answer is
a strong “No”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">I just
presented this paper at the OSA Annual meeting last week,
held at Washington, DC. It was well accepted by many.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">It is only
an 11-slide presentation. However, it experimentally
demonstrates that, for Superposition Effect to emerge, we
must have the simultaneous presence of two physical signals
carrying two physically different phase information incident
on the opposite sides of the beam-combiner of a two-beam
Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The superposition effect
emerges as purely a classical effect facilitated by the
dielectric boundary of the beam combiner (classical
light-matter interaction; no QM). The energies in the two
superposed beams can have any value, no lower limit like
“h-nu”. Thus, single photon interference is causally and
physically an untenable logic, in my view point.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The
experiment also underscores that the postulate of the
“Wave-particle duality”, is completely unnecessary for EM
waves. In fact, the Copenhagen Interpretation becomes more
logical and causal without this postulate. The QM
formulation is essentially correct. We do not need to
degrade it by imposing non-causal postulates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">In the past,
I have also proposed an experiment to validate that for
“particle interference”, we also need pairs of out-of-phase
particles to nullify the stimulation of the detector
molecule to generate “dark fringes”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
