Single photon production and detection Created 2024-10-28 Updated 2025-07-16
The particular case of the double-slit experiment will be discussed at: single particle double slit experiment.
Detectors are generally called photomultipliers:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7iAqcFCTQQ shows their base technology:
- laser beam comes in
- input set via of optical ring resonators that form a squeezed state of light. Does not seem to rely on single photon production and detection experiments?
