Notes on Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

We didn't get as far as I had hoped during today's lecture, since I wanted to make sure that you all had the necessary tools to work with complex numbers. Although I explained Mach-Zehnder interferometers last week, you may find it helpful for the problem set to glance at the following notes about Feynman's rules for interference, and about how to write down the amplitudes for the interfering paths in an MZ interferometer.
