The Feynman Path Integral formalism has long been used for calculations of probability amplitudes. Over the last few years, it has been extensively used to theoretically demonstrate that the usual application of the superposition principle in slit based interference experiments is often incorrect. This has caveat in both optics and quantum mechanics where it is often naively assumed that the boundary condition represented by slits opened individually is same as them being opened together. The… Expand
