I have a question about this old (closed) Thead about the quote:
"...but also two separate very low intensity laser beams have been sent through single slits to a common detector and a diffraction pattern resulted. The intensity was so low that the probability of a (semi-classical) photon being between the slits and the screen was close to zero." (from Oz)
I suppose two lasers don't each emit a photon at the same time. So if one photon is emitted by one laser (and not by the other laser) with which wave does the photon interfere?
