摘要：

Marshall and Santos have shown that the experiment of Grangier, Roger and Aspect to demonstrate a photon anticorrelation effect on a beam splitter is compatible with wave theory if the transmissivity is a stochastic variable. An inequality is derived which allows the results of this experiment to be compared with the results of an interference experiment. This inequality must be satisfied by classical wave models of light even with stochastic variation of the transmissivity and reflectance.
