Analysis of double-slit interference experiment at the atomic level
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
I argue that the marquis characteristics of the quantum-mechanical double-slit experiment (point detection, random distribution, Born rule) can be explained using Schroedinger's eq…

Superradiance and subradiance in extended media
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
In super- or subradiance, a quantum superposition of excited atoms collectively emits a photon much more or much less rapidly than an isolated atom. Superradiant and subradiant lif…

Spatial statistics of single-quantum detection
Jonathan F. Schonfeld
In a single-particle detection experiment, a wavefront impinges on a detector but observers only see a point response. The extent of the wavefront becomes evident only in statistic…
