D.L. Khokhlov

TL;DR
This paper reinterprets the Michelson-Morley experiment using quantum mechanics, proposing that the phase difference depends on distance at reception time, explaining the null result without frame velocity dependence.
Contribution
It introduces a quantum mechanics-based explanation for the Michelson-Morley null result, emphasizing the photon wave function's role in phase difference calculation.
Findings
Null result explained within quantum framework
Phase difference depends on reception distance
Supports quantum interpretation of interferometry
Abstract
It is revisited the Michelson-Morley experiment within the quantum mechanics framework. One can define the wave function of photon in the whole space at a given moment of time. The phase difference between the source and receiver is a distance between the source and receiver at the time of reception hence it does not depend on the velocity of the frame. Then one can explain the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment within the quantum mechanics framework.
