The amplitude of the configuration |a photon is heading to the right> is then given by:
e^iθ(x,t)
Okay, I’m already confused. What are θ, x, and t in this context? (I already know about complex exponentiation.) Am I supposed to calculate θ given x and t?

If our psi is e^iθ,
Wtf is a psi? Pounds per square inch? You haven’t used this term anywhere. (I know from college physics that psi = the wavefunction, but *you *haven’t told us what you mean yet.)

Okay, I haven’t found any obvious issues with the explanations in the rest of the post yet...
