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.
