| Popis: | The relation between quantum interference and classical interference is discussed in terms of the Wigner function and an analogous classical expression. For two displaced coherent states and two displaced electric-field Gaussian pulses, both the quantum-mechanical and classical Wigner functions exhibit oscillatory behavior. Classical analogs of squeezing, photon-number oscillation, and the $Q$ function are presented. |
