Interference and Interferometry  

In General > s.a. photons; Triple Slit; waves.
* For light: 1801, Young's double slit experiment; 1909, Seen by G I Taylor with weak light, one photon going through at a time.
* Interference in time: A plot of electron energies shows an interference pattern when the electrons could have been emitted in one of two "slits" in time; In the Paulus et al experiment, laser pulses with two maxima passed through a gas of Ar atoms.
@ Interference in time: news pw(05)mar [experiment]; Horwitz PLA(06)qp/05 [significance], FP(07).
> And gravity: see gravitational radiation; photon phenomenology in quantum gravity.
