No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

When light travels along different paths to the same observation point, interference can occur, even if the intensity is so low that only one photon is inside the apparatus at any given time. But what happens if photons enter the apparatus in pairs? I will also discuss how to make photon pairs, and how to store light in matter.
