Wave-Particle Duality & the Two-Slit Experiment: Analysis

ثبت نشده
چکیده

(and also the Einstein relation E = hν). How can the same “object” be thought of simultaneously as a wave and as a particle? According to the standard Born interpretation of the wave function, ψ(x), its square gives the probability per unit volume of finding the electron at point x. Suppose now that we want to describe in this way a particle known, with fair confidence, to be located somewhere between x0 + ∆x 2 and x0 − ∆x 2 ,

Optical vortex knots – one photon at a time

Feynman described the double slit experiment as "a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics". The double-slit experiment, performed one photon at a time, dramatically demonstrates the particle-wave duality of quantum objects by generating a fringe pattern corresponding to the interference of light (...

Lab2: Single Photon Interference

The wave-particle duality of light was verified by multi and single photon interference both through Young’s double slit and Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In these two sets of experiments, the interference in the single photon level is the same as that at multi photons level with long enough exposure time. In the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the “whichpath” information can be identified by measu...

Quantum interference experiments with large molecules

Wave–particle duality is frequently the first topic students encounter in elementary quantum physics. Although this phenomenon has been demonstrated with photons, electrons, neutrons, and atoms, the dual quantum character of the famous double-slit experiment can be best explained with the largest and most classical objects, which are currently the fullerene molecules. The soccer-ball-shaped car...

The Metron Model: a Unified Deterministic Theory of Fields and Particles – a Progress Report

Metron computations of the double-slit diffraction of a particle beam are in good agreement with quantum theory, demonstrating that wave-particle duality can be explained quantitatively within the framework of a deterministic particle model. Preliminary forwardmodelling computations of the structure the electron are consistent with previous metron predictions from inverse modelling, but work on...

Testing Wave-Particle Duality with Single-Photon Interference Measurements

We have observed wave and particle characteristics of light in two distinct experiments. In the first case, a strongly attenuated HeNe laser was passed through a Mach-Zender interferometer. The two legs of the interferometer were given definite, mutually perpendicular polarization to provide which-way information. The resulting interference pattern was captured using a wicked expensive Electron...
