Hi there,

How can I find out how many photons would land in each areas, for the following patterns:
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/tpru/BasilHiley/QuantEraserLight.pdf - page two's image (screen B)
How many photons make up 'eraser no photon' pattern, and where each is.
Likewise for the 'eraser yes photon' pattern, and where each is (i.e. on which half is it on, and in what 'lump')

Taking those fringe/anti-fringe patterns, applying those same photons to which-slit patterns (http://books.google.co.nz/books?id=...utiful Invisible&pg=PA194#v=onepage&q&f=false), how many of the fringe photons make up the slit 1 pattern, and where each of those photons is on the screen, likewise how many anti-fringe photons make up the slit 2 pattern, and where each is.
