The inspection of the dual nature of the electron is proposed, with modifications in initial double-slit experiment, such as introduction of intermediate-intensity of electrical field. We are mindful of mysterious nature of the quantum particles, exceptionally electrons. The particle maneuvers as wave, but upon observation, the wave-function of the electron is collapsed. An interference pattern ceases to be observed, which limits us to what we can measure and what we cannot, with current detection methods, in which photons are utilized as detector. In the original procedure, a source of high-intensity light (photons) is used to measure the position of the electrons, which leads to the collapse of the wave-function. An investigation is proposed, to observe the effects of the intermediate-intensity electric field on the nature of electron.

Second-Order Duality of Light and its Nonclassical Complementarity

Rikizo Ikuta

A single photon exhibits wave-particle duality in the Young's double-slit interferometer. The duality character-ized by an interference visibility $V$ as the wave-like property and a which-path information $D$ as the particle-like property has tradeoff relation $D^{2}+V^{2}\leq 1$ known as complementarity [1]–[3]. There are a lot of studies about the complementary nature of photons from various viewpoints such as delayed-choice experiments, theoretical works related to the uncertainty principle, and so on. More recently, studies have expanded the concept of the wave-particle duality to higher-order interferometric scenarios, in which the input light includes two or more pho-tons [4], [5]. Despite having a long history, all previous studies have been related to phase correlation of optical states, which reason would be why the main focus in the first place is the investigation of the mysterious quantum nature of a photon, including the superposition principle.A single photon exhibits wave-particle duality in the Young's double-slit interferometer.

Quantum Measurement and Interference in Mixed Systems: Investigating the Cross-Effect of Observation on Different Particle Types

Nikita Neverovich

This work proposes a novel variation of the double-slit experiment in which two different types of quantum particles — for example, electrons and photons — pass simultaneously through a shared double-slit apparatus. The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that the act of measurement may not only collapse the wave function of the observed particle, but could also influence the interference pattern of an unmeasured, co-propagating particle of a different type. In the proposed configuration, photons and electrons are emitted in synchrony and directed through the same set of slits. Immediately after the slits, a path-detecting measurement apparatus is applied only to one type of particle (e.g., photons), while the interference pattern of the other type (e.g., electrons) is recorded on a distant screen. The experiment is designed to explore whether the destruction of coherence through measurement is strictly local, or whether it can propagate to other particles through a shared medium, entangled fields, or an unknown interaction. If the unmeasured particle continues to display interference, this would support the locality of measurement effects. Conversely, if interference vanishes for both, it could indicate a more global or field-level decoherence process. This investigation aims to contribute new insights into the nature of quantum measurement, the role of observation, and the interdependence of coherent systems involving distinct particle species.This work proposes a novel variation of the double-slit experiment in which two different types of quantum particles — for example, electrons and photons — pass simultaneously through a shared double-slit apparatus.
