Abstract

I will discuss a Geometric phase that appears in Intensity Interferometry of polarised light. This nonlocal phase is only seen in the coincidence counts between separated detectors and not in any local measurement at one detector. I will first introduce Intensity Interferometry and then the Geometric Phase effects.
