Event-based Corpuscular Model for Quantum Optics Experiments

摘要

A corpuscular simulation model of optical phenomena that does not require theknowledge of the solution of a wave equation of the whole system and reproducesthe results of Maxwell's theory by generating detection events one-by-one ispresented. The event-based corpuscular model is shown to give a unifieddescription of multiple-beam fringes of a plane parallel plate, single-photonMach-Zehnder interferometer, Wheeler's delayed choice, photon tunneling,quantum erasers, two-beam interference, double-slit, andEinstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm and Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiments.
