  2. Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler's_delayed-choice...

    [2]: 184 Like the double-slit experiment, Wheeler's concept has two equivalent paths between a source and detector. Like the which-way versions of the double-slit, the experiment is run in two versions: one designed to detect wave interference and one designed to detect particles. The new ingredient in Wheeler's approach is a delayed-choice ...

  3. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    Numerical simulation of the double-slit experiment with electrons. Figure on the left: evolution (from left to right) of the intensity of the electron beam at the exit of the slits (left) up to the detection screen located 10 cm after the slits (right).

  4. Delayed-choice quantum eraser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed-choice_quantum_eraser

    In the basic double-slit experiment, a beam of light (usually from a laser) is directed perpendicularly towards a wall pierced by two parallel slit apertures.If a detection screen (anything from a sheet of white paper to a CCD) is put on the other side of the double-slit wall (far enough for light from both slits to overlap), a pattern of light and dark fringes will be observed, a pattern that ...

  5. Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave–particle_duality

    The electron double slit experiment is a textbook demonstration of wave-particle duality. [2] A modern version of the experiment is shown schematically in the figure below. Left half: schematic setup for electron double-slit experiment with masking; inset micrographs of slits and mask; Right half: results for slit 1, slit 2 and both slits open ...

  6. Quantum eraser experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_eraser_experiment

    This experiment involves an apparatus with two main sections. After two entangled photons are created, each is directed into its own section of the apparatus. Anything done to learn the path of the entangled partner of the photon being examined in the double-slit part of the apparatus will influence the second photon, and vice versa.

  7. De Broglie–Bohm theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Broglie–Bohm_theory

    The Bohmian trajectories for an electron going through the two-slit experiment. A similar pattern was also extrapolated from weak measurements of single photons. [3] The double-slit experiment is an illustration of wave–particle duality. In it, a beam of particles (such as electrons) travels through a barrier that has two slits.

  8. Electron diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_diffraction

    Close to an aperture or atoms, often called the "sample", the electron wave would be described in terms of near field or Fresnel diffraction. [12]: Chpt 7-8 This has relevance for imaging within electron microscopes, [1]: Chpt 3 [2]: Chpt 3-4 whereas electron diffraction patterns are measured far from the sample, which is described as far-field or Fraunhofer diffraction. [12]:

  9. Quantum superposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_superposition

    A double slit experiment has been performed with molecules as large as buckyballs and functionalized oligoporphyrins with up to 2000 atoms. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Molecules with masses exceeding 10,000 and composed of over 810 atoms have successfully been superposed [ 7 ]
