How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter State 1 Amplitude and State 2 Amplitude (each 0–1). They satisfy α₁² + Ξ±β‚‚Β² = 1 for a normalized superposition.
  2. Set Phase Difference (rad): 0 gives constructive interference, Ο€ gives destructive interference.
  3. Read Interference Term to see how the phase relationship amplifies or cancels the combined wavefunction.
  4. Visibility (0–1) indicates how strong the interference pattern is β€” 1 is perfect contrast, 0 is no fringe.
  5. Coherence (0–1) measures how quantum the superposition is; values near 0 indicate decoherence has occurred.
