Can deterministic particle trajectories with an internal oscillatory phase produce interference without a wave equation? [closed]
I’ve been developing a toy model where each particle evolves in two time parameters:
A classical propagation time t and an internal oscillatory time τ(t).

Nested double-slit experiment, interference or not? [closed]
Suppose we perform the usual double-slit experiment, but we place a perfectly isolated box with a one-slit input and output before the initial double slits.
Inside the box, a double-slit experiment ...

Double slit experiment difference (classical vs quantum) if any
I am learning quantum mechanics and am confused about the double slit experiment involving shooting of a single photon at a time through the slits. It is said in the books that if we try to measure ...

Interference of waves in YDSE
I am new to YDSE (Young's Double Slit Experiment) so kindly bear with me if my question is simple.
My professor said that for interference to occur, the two sources must have the same frequency - only ...

Dopfer's double-slit experiment [closed]
In Dopfer's double slit experiment, I'm having trouble explaining how the measurement of photon 1 in the image plane reveals the slit traversed by photon 2. Is there a simple way to understand this?

How does the usual depiction of an electromagnetic wave fit with depictions as a water style wave? [closed]
For eg. in the 2 slit experiment the interference pattern
is due to a wave like on the surface of water which spreads out radially, and this is the case even with one photon. How does the linear ...

Interference Pattern
In standard YDSE, if the slits are placed collinear to each other, and are placed parallel to the screen, the pattern observed on the screens are hyperbolic fringes.
But if these slits are place ...

Question regarding intensity of interference pattern in Young's double slit experiment [closed]
In Young's double slit experiment, is the intensity of interference pattern directly proportional to slit width or square of slit width?

Interference pattern when particles don't go through either of the two slits, but hit only the mid-portion between the slits and ricochet off! [closed]
'Is it possible to conduct a double-slit experiment in such a way that a series of single electrons/photons) hit only the mid-portion of the two-slits and ricochet off (without entering either slit)? ...

Confusion in Double Slit Experiment regarding fringes [duplicate]
consider the above demonstration, for double slit experiment. In this one, there seem to be two types of "gaps". one, the type of larger (relatively) gaps,(marked as A) and two, smaller gaps ...

In the double-slit experiment what would I see if I looked at the light source from the perspective of dark strip?
I know it isn't the light source because the lamp's light doesn't reach the dark strip, so what is it?

Double Double Slit experiment
1- Let's say you add another double slit panel or something after first one and add detector to one of the slits on the first one. Would we get interference pattern still?
Basically what i am asking ...

Quantum three slit with one observer
I have read that that in quantum mechanics 2 slit experiment photons act like a wave however if an observer is added to one slit then the photons act as particles. What happens if we now have 3 slits ...

Gravitational Effect from 2-Slit Experiment
The double-slit experiment, demonstrating wave-particle duality, has been successfully conducted with buckyballs (C60 molecules). As I understand it, they "travel" through both slits as a ...

A new variant of the double-slit experiment
I’m curious whether quantum interference would still occur when using two slits of different shapes – for example, a rectangular slit and a circular slit – rather than the conventional setup with two ...
