Quantum interference with macroscopic objects

We demonstrate that an interference pattern is not only characteristic for a wave (packet) but that it can also be build up by many particles arriving one by one at a detector without direct information exchange between the particles. We also demonstrate that full which‐path information does not necessarily rule out interference effects. We illustrate this by an interference circuit for people. Our results prove that it is possible to give a particle‐only description of single‐particle interference experiments without first solving a wave equation.
