I watched the optical gate thing yesterday, it made it seem much simpler than I had imagined.
Once you get past the weirdness that makes the light cross back and forth, you can abstract it away to separation at signal time. It makes it much easier to reason about.
This comes from the yt channel Huygens Optics, amazing stuff, highly recommend checking it out.

Really cool software! Helpful for anyone getting into photonics
What about 3D version?
Reminds me of (slightly outdated) https://xkcd.com/1425/ :)
I could build a 2D fluid simulator in a day by hand. Ask me to do the same in 3D and I need a team of five and 6 months.
