We seek to complement Nelson's work on the two-slit experiment by showing that the two-slit process, whose density exhibits the characteristic interference pattern, may be obtained as the model after the beam has reached the screen by means…
The double-slit experiment is one of the quintessential quantum experiments. However, it tends to be overlooked that a theoretical account of this experiment requires the specification of the joint position and time distribution of…
We analyze the double slit interference of a mesoscopic particle. We calculate the visibility of the interference pattern, introduce a characteristic temperature that defines the onset to decoherence and scrutinize the conditions that must…
We show the experimental observation of the classical sub-wavelength double-slit interference with a pseudo-thermal light source. The experimental results are in agreement with the recent theoretical prediction shown in quant-ph/0404078 (to…
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…
The double-slit experiment strikingly demonstrates the wave-particle duality of quantum objects. In this famous experiment, particles pass one-by-one through a pair of slits and are detected on a distant screen. A distinct wave-like pattern…
Recently Kastner has analyzed the issue of visibility in a modified two-slit experiment carried out by Afshar et al, which has been a subject of much debate. Kastner describes a thought experiment which is claimed to show interference with…
Shahriar S. Afshar claimed that his 2007 modified version of the double-slit experiment violates complementarity [1]. He makes two modifications to the standard double-slit experiment. First, he adds a wire grid that is placed in between…
We present a fully local treatment of the double slit experiment in the formalism of quantum field theory. Our exposition is predominantly pedagogical in nature and exemplifies the fact that there is an entirely local description of the…
It was recently proposed that the fringe visibility in the interference pattern of a double-slit diffraction experiment with a HeNe laser beam was reduced as a consequence of the focused attention of participants on the double-slit that…
Proprioception is essential for coordinating human movements and enhancing the performance of assistive robotic devices. Skin stretch feedback, which closely aligns with natural proprioception mechanisms, presents a promising method for…
The two-slits and one-slit experiments with people are performed and show the existence of wave component of women behavior.
Wave-particle duality is an inherent peculiarity of the quantum world. The double-slit experiment has been frequently used for understanding different aspects of this fundamental concept. The occurrence of interference rests on the lack of…
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…
It is demonstrated that the three-slit interference, as obtained from explicit solutions of Maxwell's equations for realistic models of three-slit devices, including an idealized version of the three-slit device used in a recent three-slit…
In a typical two-slits experiments we face the question whether it is possible or not to attain knowledge about properties incompatible with Which-Slit property together with the measurement of the final impact point. A wide family of…
Research suggests that students often have difficulty transferring their learning from one context to another. We examine upper-level undergraduate and graduate students' facility with questions about the interference pattern in the…
Some modified two-slit interference experiments claim to demonstrate a violation of Bohr's complementarity principle. A typical such experiment is theoretically analyzed using wave-packet dynamics. The flaw in the analysis of such…
Tabish Qureshi (2010) has recently objected to an aspect of my discussion of a thought experiment by Srikanth (2001). I believe his objection is based on a misunderstanding about my presentation, but I accept responsibility for not being…
We perform a nonlocal double-slit interference experiment with pseudothermal light. The experimental result exhibits a typical double-slit interference fringe in the intensity correlation measurement, in agreement with the theoretical…
