Graduate General definition of interferences clarification

[Leo1233783]

I require your help to list all phenomena described as interferences in physics ( as teached nowadays ) with their citations in scholar documents if they are not well known by non-specialists. I am open to adjacent domains like information theory and mathematics.

There are already light interferences which are well documented.
The word is also used to analyze the Delayed choice quantum eraser experiment which is about photons jointly detected.

What are the other cases of original and modern interferences citations?
How to classify this concept?

I am not looking for paradoxes, just precise definition(s) to refer in an article. If it is a solid concept and not a class of emergent and completely different concepts, I should want to be able to state "that are interferences consistent with the definition" or the opposite.

This is, as far as I can see, a unfulfillable wish. Since (almost) all of physics uses field theory as its conceptual basis, it's hard to find anything that's not related to some kind of interference. In quantum theory, which is a linear theory, it's in the very foundations in form of the superposition principle. So we need some better defined problem or phenomenon you want to understand.

Thanks for your reply.
I think the same.

Thus, some marvel at interferences between physical wave(s), others between correlations of events, but interference is a vague concept.

I was trying to discriminate the 2 and to ask "if the experiments, reputed to be of the 1st kind were of the 2nd type" ? And to note that only the first fit the condition of marvellous superpositions of "physical objects", eluding what the latter means exactly.

We received this morning fresh raw Bell data from credible experimentalists with the highest level of electrons pairs detection ever seen, from 15% to 85% with some settings. Thus, I change my mind ... I'm not stubborn but need solid evidence. The fact remains that the optical experiments were not conclusive with their tiny detection level.
