Teaching physics through experiments in interferometry with photons, particles and waves

Jizreel Pereira da Silva

This article explores the use of interferometry experiments, focusing on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, as a didactic tool for teaching fundamental concepts of quantum physics, such as wave-particle duality, superposition, and interference. Using the interactive simulation “Interferometer experiments with photons, particles and waves” from the University of St Andrews, we demonstrate how different models – classical particles, electromagnetic waves, and single photons – can be applied to describe the observed phenomena, facilitating the understanding of the distinctions between the classical and quantum views of nature. The comparative analysis of the simulated experimental results serves as a basis for in-depth conceptual discussions in the classroom, making quantum physics more accessible and intuitive for high school and university students.

Theoretical Definition and Experimental Validation of the v* Constant Representing Wave–Particle Duality

Begüm Yıldırım

This study introduces the theoretical constant v* as a scalar measure for quantifying wave–particle duality in quantum systems. Using wavefunction variation and local curvature analysis, the framework investigates transitions between interference and localization states. Experimental validation is performed using photon double-slit data, showing that v* values correlate with observed wave-like and particle-like quantum behaviors. Originality and AI-use statement: This work is an original research output by Begüm Yıldırım. AI tools, if used, were limited to language refinement, grammar correction, formatting, translation assistance, and clarity improvement. The conceptual framework, research direction, interpretation, models, and conclusions belong to the author. External sources, datasets, or prior works are cited where applicable.

Wave-Particle Duality and Electron Kinetic Energy in Quantum Physics and Nanoelectronics

Baldo Alberto Luigi Dalporto, Sabine Mary, Santiago Gallur Santorum

Wave-particle duality is widely regarded as one of the conceptual pillars of modern quantum theory, providing the framework through which the behavior of microscopic matter can be consistently interpreted. According to this principle, microscopic entities such as electrons, photons, atoms and even complex molecules exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties depending on the experimental configuration used to observe them. This duality is quantitatively formalized through the De Broglie relation, which associates a wavelength with any particle possessing momentum. The present work provides a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the physical and mathematical foundations of wave-particle duality, focusing particularly on the De Broglie wavelength and the kinetic energy of the electron in both non-relativistic and relativistic regimes. The connection between the De Broglie hypothesis and Schrödinger’s equation is discussed in detail, highlighting the role of the kinetic energy operator and the interpretation of matter waves in terms of quantum wave packets. Experimental evidence supporting the wave nature of matter, including electron diffraction experiments and interferometry techniques, is also reviewed. Beyond their conceptual importance, these principles underpin several modern technologies, including electron microscopy, nanoscale semiconductor devices and quantum metrology. The analysis demonstrates that the De Broglie relation provides a unifying framework connecting momentum, wavelength and kinetic energy, thereby forming a fundamental bridge between classical mechanics, quantum theory and modern technological applications.
