Midpoint current of a two-mode box state
ID: midpoint-current-of-a-two-mode-box-state
For the equal superposition of the first two box states with zero initial relative quantum phase, put . The probability in the left half is . The continuity equation and zero wall probability current implyDirect substitution of and into the probability current verifies the sign. Positive current means probability leaves the left half. The quantum interference controls transport even though each component has stationary probability density.
