Double Slit Experiment

This cluster centers on discussions of the double slit experiment in quantum mechanics, including its results with single particles, wave-particle duality, interpretations like pilot wave theory, and related experiments such as the quantum eraser and Wheeler's delayed choice.

Is this not basically saying the same thing that is shown in the double slit experiment?Short video on the double slit experiment for the layman:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfPeprQ7oGc

Can you explain the double slit experiment with this approach?

What does this mean for the double slit experiment?

Interestingly, there is a (possibly still incomplete?) model of QM that explains this mystery and can even be replicated in human scale experiments: The de Broglie-Bohm pilot wave model.In this model, both the wave and the particle are simultaneously real. the particle is being moved around by the wave. When we get near the double slit, the wave naturally travels through both slits and forms an interference pattern.The particle randomly moves through one of the slits, and is them carried furt

Can you explain results of double slit experiment (when single particle creates interference pattern) to us, mere mortals, please?

lisivka Feb 20, 2017 View on HN

Double slit experiment is already explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsaUX48t0w8 .

You're thinking of the double slit experiment

I'd like to see this with the double slit experiment

Is this like Wheeler's Delayed Choice experiment?
