The double-slit and the EPR experiments: A paradox-free kinematic description

Alexey A. Kryukov

Published Aug 22, 2007• 0 citations

Abstract

The paradoxes of the double-slit and the EPR experiments with particles are shown to originate in the implicit assumption that the particles are always located in the classical space. It is demonstrated that there exists a natural substitute for this assumption that provides a method of resolving the paradoxes.

The EPR experiment: A paradox-free definition of reality

Alexey A. Kryukov

The paradoxes of the EPR experiment with two particles are shown to originate in the implicit assumption that the particles are always located in the classical space. There exists a substitute for this assumption that yields a new definition of reality and offers a resolution of the paradoxes.

No Paradox in Wave–Particle Duality

Andrew Knight

The assertion that an experiment by Afshar et al. demonstrates violation of Bohr’s Principle of Complementarity is based on the faulty assumption that which-way information in a double-slit interference experiment can be retroactively determined from a future measurement.

Interpretations of quantum mechanics and some claimed resolutions of the EPR paradox

M. A. B. Whitaker, Ishwar S Singh

The authors discuss a number of papers which claim that the EPR 'paradox' may be resolved using density-matrix methods. They first show that it is only inside the Copenhagen interpretation that the EPR experiment has any appearance of paradox; inside an ensemble interpretation, or hidden-variable theory, it may be analysed in a straightforward way. They then show that these 'resolutions' are implicitly using an ensemble interpretation.

Alternative Approach to Copenhagen Interpretation

In this study, a double-slit experiment was simulated with only classical-mechanics assumptions to demonstrate that the phenomena associated with this experiment can be explained by classical mechanics. The experiment was conducted with the particle nature intact, by performing observations that did not affect the particle motion while recording the particle position at each simulation step. Only one experimental particle was assumed per session to prevent external effects. Nevertheless, wave patterns, which have previously been thought to occur only quantum-mechanically, were observed on the inspection plate. This study focused on proving that classical mechanics can explain the double-slit wave pattern.

Double Slit Experiment Still Has Much to Offer (4): New Double Slit Experiments Violating Wave Description

Peng, Hui

Young's double slit experiments representing the mystery of quantum mechanics have been descripted by wave theories. To study the mystery, the double slit experiments were extended to the cross-double slit experiments. A description should explain all the double slit and cross-double slit experiments consistently. To test the wave description, the two postulates are proposed, which state that before passing through the double slit and before landing on the detector, photons behave as particles, but not as waves. To test the two postulates, the comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments are proposed and performed. By placing shields and/or blockers near the detector/screen, the comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments show that the fringes are created independently and partially, which discloses the particle nature of photons in the double slit/crossdouble slit experiments and violates the wave descriptions. The comprehensive double slit/cross-double slit experiments provide the comprehensive phenomena for developing theoretical model to study the mystery of double slit, complementarity principle, wave-particle duality, and wave theory of light.
