Young's archetypal double-slit experiment forms the basis for modern diffraction techniques: the elastic scattering of waves yields an interference pattern that captures the real-space structure. Here, we report on an inelastic incarnation…
We investigate the effect of long-range Coulomb interaction on the two-electron scattering in the integer quantum Hall regime at bulk filling factor 2. A parallel version of the Split-Step Fourier method evolves the exact two-particle wave…
We show that interference phenomena plays a big role for the electron yield in ionization of atoms by an ultra-short laser pulse. Our theoretical study of single ionization of atoms driven by few-cycles pulses extends the photoelectron…
The double slit experiment provides a classic example of both interference and the effect of observation in quantum physics. When particles are sent individually through a pair of slits, a wave-like interference pattern develops, but no…
Some modified two-slit interference experiments were carried out showing an apparent paradox in wave-particle duality. In a typical such experiment, the screen, where the interference pattern is supposed to be formed, is replaced by a…
The double-slit experiment has become a classic thought experiment, for its clarity in expressing the central puzzle of quantum mechanics -- wave-particle complementarity. Such wave-particle duality continues to be challenged and…
In a paper from 2006, Couder and Fort [1] describe a version of the famous double slit experiment performed with drops bouncing on a vibrated fluid surface, where interference in the particle statistics is found even though it is possible…
The double-slit experiment is the most direct demonstration of interference between individual quantum objects. Since similar experiments with single particles and more slits produce interference fringes reducible to a combination of…
The double slit interference experiment has been famously described by Richard Feynman as containing the "only mystery of quantum mechanics". The history of quantum mechanics is intimately linked with the discovery of the dual nature of…
In this paper, we theoretically investigate a particular experimental setup which coalesces the concepts of the double slit and single slit diffraction. In Thomas Young's classic double slit experiment, monochromatic plane light wave…
We propose to search for new wave phenomena in the brain by using interference effects in analogy to the well-known double slit (Young) experiment. This method is able to extend the range of oscillation frequencies to much higher values…
A new wave-particle non-dualistic interpretation for the quantum formalism is presented by proving that the Schr\"odinger wave function is an `{\it instantaneous resonant spatial mode}' in which the quantum particle moves. The probabilities…
As per Einstein's design, particles are introduced into the double-slit experiment through a small hole in a plate which can either move up and down (and its momentum can be measured) or be stopped (and its position can be measured).…
On the basis of an alternative approach to micro-cat states (Found. of Phys., 41, No. 9, p.1502 (2011)) we develop a new model of the two-slit experiment. It explains both this particular experiment and how the wave properties of any…
The momentum changes caused by position measurements are a central feature of wave-particle duality. Here we investigate two cases - localization by a single slit, and which-way detection in the double-slit interference experiment - and…
We consider the concept of velocity fields, taken from Bohmian mechanics, to investigate the dynamical effects of entanglement in bipartite realizations of Young's two-slit experiment. In particular, by comparing the behavior exhibited by…
In a recent, modified double-pinhole diffraction experiment the existence of an interference pattern was established indirectly along with a near-perfect imaging of the double pinhole. Our theoretical analysis shows that the experiment…
The wave nature of light is revealed by diffraction from physical structures. We report a time-domain version of the classic Young's double-slit experiment: a beam of light twice gated in time produces an interference in the frequency…
The classic Young's double-slit experiment exhibits first-order interference, producing alternating bright and dark fringes modulated by the diffraction effect of the slits. In contrast, here we demonstrate that its time-reversed…
