Abstract :
Summary form only given. Summary from only given. Feynman, in discussing the quantum mechanical superposition, noted that interference occurs when the relevant amplitudes become indistinguishable. We demonstrate, in this paper, quantum interference resulting from indistinguishability of two amplitudes which are originally distinguishable in time.
