Abstract
A simple scheme is proposed for observing the ghost interference and diffraction. The signal and the idler beams are produced by a beam splitter with the incident light being in a thermal state. A slit is inserted into the signal beam. We derive rigorously that interference-diffraction patterns can be observed in the first-order correlation by scanning the probe in the idler beam.
