Abstract

Classical optical interference experiments correspond to a measurement of the first-order correlation function of the electromagnetic field. The converse of this statement: exper- iments that measure the first order correlation functions do not distinguish between the quantum and classical theories of light, does not always hold. A counter example is given.
