Photon trajectories, anomalous velocities and weak measurements: a classical interpretation
Photon trajectories, anomalous velocities and weak measurements: a classical interpretation
Recently, Kocsis et al (2011 Science 332 1170) reported the observation of 'average trajectories of single photons' in a two-slit interference experiment. This was possible by using the quantum weak-measurement method, which implies averaging over many events, i.e. in fact, a multi-photon limit of classical linear optics. We give a …
