    "abstract": "Classical linear wave superposition produces the appearance of interference.\nThis observation can be interpreted in two equivalent ways: one can assume that\ninterference is an illusion because input components remain unperturbed, or\nthat interference is real and input components undergo energy redistribution.\nBoth interpretations entail the same observable consequences at the macroscopic\nlevel, but the first approach is considerably more popular. This preference was\nestablished before the emergence of quantum mechanics. Unfortunately, it\nrequires a non-classical underlying mechanism and fails to explain well-known\nmicroscopic observations. Classical physics appears to collapse at the quantum\nlevel. On the other hand, quantum superposition can be described as a classical\nprocess if the second alternative is adopted. The gap between classical\nmechanics and quantum mechanics is an interpretive problem.",
