However, a new study attempts to fill this gap. It suggests that classical interference patterns arise from specific quantum states of light, called bright and dark states.

In the new experiment, the interference pattern showed up as fringes, or additional peaks in the frequency spectra, which are graphs of the measured light intensity at different frequencies.
