By utilizing the scattering technique we offer what we believe is a very convincing physical evidence for the existence, or for the absence, of quantum interference effects in the Autler-Townes (AT) and Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) phenomena.10 pages, 6 figuresQuantum PhysicsInterference Between Competing Pathways in the Interaction of Three-Level Ladder Atoms and Radiationtext
