Beth Parks coauthored a quantum treatment of beam splitters with Charles H. Holbrow and Enrique Galvez. Describing the device requires complex probability amplitudes and their relative quantum phases, not only the fraction of power sent to each output. A unitary matrix transforms the input optical modes into the output modes, connecting single-photon detection probabilities with experiments involving correlated photons. This gives an experimental device a common mathematical description across several quantum-optics demonstrations.[ref]
