Abstract
The Copenhagen interpretation has been long-lasted, whose core concepts are in the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and nonlocal correlation of EPR. The second-order anticorrelation on a beam splitter represents these phenomena where it cannot be achieved classically. Here, the anticorrelation of nonclassicality on a beam splitter is interpreted in a purely coherence manner. Unlike a common belief in a particle nature of photons, the anticorrelation roots in pure wave nature of coherence optics, where quantum superposition between two input fields plays a key role. This interpretation may intrigue a fundamental question of what nonclassicality should be and pave a road to coherence-based quantum information.
