Summary

Description	Français : Le paquet d'ondes d'une particule quantique peut être divisé (non-montré) en deux paquets qui sont ensuite recombinés (montré). Dans ce cas on peut observer l'interférence d'une particule avec elle-même. La couleur (jaune vert bleu) indique la phase de la fonction d'onde $\psi$ , son intensité indique $\|\psi \|^{2}$ . English: The following is an animation depicting how the wave packet of a quantum particle can be split up (not shown) into two packets which are recombined afterwards (shown). In this case the interference of the particle with itself can be observed. The color (yellow green blue) indicates the phase of the wave function $\psi$ , its intensity indicates $\|\psi \|^{2}$ . The Python file which generated this animation is here.
