Furthermore it is interesting to know that one might consider the technology on the page quite oldschool, however its most important value is the text and the images in the description and they are provided by good old HTML.
I think you should change the title in the page, or at least highlight what is unexpected.
Short version: Mark as bold the sentence "This experiment goes a step further by performing it one photon at a time to show the interference of single photons."
Long version:
First I was not sure what was the Young's experiment. I know the double slit experiment but I didn't know that Young was the creator. Perhaps this varies from one country to other, or from university to other, or from one major to other, ...
Second, I thought it was the usual double slit experiment. Build some slits in aluminum foil, a laser, a ccd camera and call it a day. The one photon at a time was unexpected.
I propose a new title, something like "Reproducing Young's double slit experiment at home with one photon at a time". It's a little too long, ...
I would, but it seems I am not able to change the title anymore. I have an "edit" option in my comments, but maybe this functionality does not work for submissions? In particular I am not the author of the linked page.
