From the point of view of classical optics, there is nothing mysterious about the disappearance of the interference pattern when the polarization filters are set orthogonally to one another. The experimental result only becomes astonishing when one considers experiments with individual photons. Only then can the experiments be interpreted in such a way that they shed light on the peculiar behavior of quantum objects (as will be explained further in the course of this lesson).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.milq.info\/en\/mehr\/3-wellen-und-teilchen\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doesn\u2019t the same thing happen with laser light?
