Thanks for your responses. The double slit experiment and the lens focusing phenomenon both help "illuminate" the 3D wave characteristic of even a single photon of light. From this behavior I conclude that I can repeat my single photon emission experiment 1000 times, and position my detector...
As a chemist, I'm accustomed to thinking of electrons in the wave/particle dualistic sense and their energy orbitals in terms of quantum mechanical wave equations and probabilities. But I would like some input on the following thought experiment relating to photons and the wave behavior of...
