Reconstructing the phase of a field from intensity measurements is an old and ubiquitous challenge, known as the phase retrieval problem 1,2,3. It has found numerous applications spanning from ...
The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...
