One state? One wave function? OK. But that one state and its evolution still describes many histories, and the expression of the photon as a superposition is not an artfifact. The histories interfere. If the photons are in the state 1/sqrt(2)( |left slit> -|right slit> ) they behave differently than the crisp photons going only through one slit.
