To this day, the two-slit electron interference pattern remains shrouded in an inordinate mystery. It continues to defy a logical and rational explanation. This paper will postulate a new "characteristic" pertaining to the electron. If this…
Learning quantum mechanics is challenging, even for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. Interactive tutorials which build on students' prior knowledge can be useful tools to enhance student learning. We have been investigating…
The double slit experiment provides a standard way of demonstrating how quantum mechanics works. We consider modifying the standard arrangement so that a photon beam incident upon the double slit encounters a polarizer in front of either…

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…
We propose a simple numerical experiment of two slits interference of particles. It disproves the popular belief that such an interference is incompatible with a knowledge which slit each particle came through or, more generally, ``quantum…
Single and double-slit experiments are performed with two microwave billiards with the shapes of a rectangle, respectively, a quarter stadium. The classical dynamics of the former is regular, that of the latter is chaotic. Microwaves can…
We show that we can know more than the orthodox view does, as one example, we make a new analysis about double-slit experiment, and demonstrate that we can measure the objective state of the particles passing through the two slits while not…
Expanding our knowledge of student difficulties in advanced undergraduate electromagnetism is essential if we are to develop effective instructional interventions. Drawing on an analysis of course materials, in-class observations and…
A double-slit experiment with entangled photons is theoretically analyzed. It is shown that, under suitable conditions, two entangled photons of wavelength $\lambda$ can behave like a \emph{biphoton} of wavelength $\lambda/2$. The…
This paper presents a pedagogical model, and accompanying R code, of the electron double-slit experiment using the perspective of indivisible stochastic processes. The approach offers an alternative lens on quantum probability and coherence…
A new scheme for a double-slit experiment in the time domain is presented. Phase-stabilized few-cycle laser pulses open one to two windows (``slits'') of attosecond duration for photoionization. Fringes in the angle-resolved energy spectrum…
We examine the effect of misconceptions about friction on students' ability to solve problems and transfer from one context to another. We analyze written responses to paired isomorphic problems given to introductory physics students and…
Double-slit experiment very well lends itself in describing the problem of measuring simultaneously incompatible properties. In such a context, we theoretically design an ideal experiment for spin-7/2 particles, able to produce the…
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…
We present a scheme in which we investigate the two-slit experiment and the the principle of complementarity.
Overfitting and generalization is an important concept in Machine Learning as only models that generalize are interesting for general applications. Yet some students have trouble learning this important concept through lectures and…
We argue that the double-slit experiment can be understood much better by considering it as an experiment whereby one uses electrons to study the set-up rather than an experiment whereby we use a set-up to study the behaviour of electrons.…
This paper considers a theoretical model of the double-slit experiment with electrons whose paths are monitored. This monitoring, inspired by a recent text by Maudlin, is performed by the Coulomb scattering of the electron by a proton. A…
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…
