Feynman referred to interference as “the only mystery,” and we continue to pursue that idea here by examining the theory behind it with heightened scrutiny. Three interpretations are described: The standard model, Feynman’s sum-over-paths, and Einstein’s
photon model. The standard model bases its arguments on the wave function and its subsequent collapse. The sum-over-paths model is equivalent to the standard model, but it explains interference by avoiding use of the wave function and its conceptual problems due to collapse. The Einstein model
is the most challenging for it is revolutionary and intuitively demanding. We critique the three models by studying their treatment of polarized light. In Part II, the interference of low intensity light will be discussed.
期刊介绍:
Physics Essays has been established as an international journal dedicated to theoretical and experimental aspects of fundamental problems in Physics and, generally, to the advancement of basic knowledge of Physics. The Journal’s mandate is to publish rigorous and methodological examinations of past, current, and advanced concepts, methods and results in physics research. Physics Essays dedicates itself to the publication of stimulating exploratory, and original papers in a variety of physics disciplines, such as spectroscopy, quantum mechanics, particle physics, electromagnetic theory, astrophysics, space physics, mathematical methods in physics, plasma physics, philosophical aspects of physics, chemical physics, and relativity.
