Multiparticle effects in Bose-Einstein correlations are reviewed. It is shown that for a broad class of models they can be ignored in the low density limit, but often are significant (typically at the 10% level) for realistic denisties.
The matter-wave interference picture, which appears within the quantum Talbot effect, changes qualitatively in response to even a small randomness in the phases of the sources. The spatial spectrum acquires peaks which are absent in the…
