This is a major issue that I have with the double slit experiment - in that it obfuscates an important concept by only using two slits spaced equidistant from the stream of photons.
For the Many-Worlds Interpretation, the photons always go through just one slit. To test this, the Hiroshima University team created a more complex version of the double slit.
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...
Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...
Over the past 50 years, researchers have repeatedly carried out the experiment using photons, electrons, atoms, molecules, and biological macromolecules as interfering entities.
An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two adjacent iridium atoms (green) in the crystal. This excites electrons in the atoms for a short time. The atoms emit X-ray photons ...
The researchers redesigned the double-slit experiment, which was first performed in 1801 and demonstrated a curious trait of light: that it can behave both as a particle and a wave.
More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “ double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...
You run the double-slit experiment and you get an interference pattern from electrons just like you do with photons, even sending one through at a time.
