Thank you all for your in-depth responses. You're amazing people. I hope to be like you one day.

So then is the interference pattern seen in the double slits, even if you used many photons versus one, considered to always be this probability expression of single photons? I likely was just then under a misapprehension. And I didn't have an experimental setup in mind. I'm just curious.

I keep seeing that it's assumed that photons interfere with each other, and there are other points of proof for this like destructive interference, etc., but I've never seen an experiment in which a constant beam is used but both slits are analyzed or the energy required for measurement is...

Thank you. I was thinking along the lines of the photon being its own antiparticle and matter/antimatter annihilations.

I was just reading about the LIGO experiment wherein an interferometer was used to detect gravity waves. This interferometer uses opposed light waves, detecting if there is a shift in their wavelength due to stretching/squeezing of a gravity wave passing through the lasers. (I hope I'm saying...
