Time to Stop Believing in Fairytales: A Possible Solution to Quantum Mechanics Most Daring Problem, the Doubleslit Experiment

Abstract

I come from a medical background. I haven't seriously studied physics since high school but I like to observe things and I like the mysteries of quantum mechanics. Solving mysteries is one of the most important approaches to the development of humanity. With that said I would like to propose here where to look for solutions for one of the most important mysteries of quantum mechanics. The double-slit experiment.

Fundamental considerations inspired by quantum physics

Anton Zeilinger

I have been interested in quantum mechanics or, synonymously, quantum physics since the very days when I first learned about them as a student. The initial impression was that of an immense mathematical beauty of the formalism of quantum mechanics. The second impression was the fantastic agreement of the theoretical predictions of quantum physics for experiments, and the third and somewhat surprising impression was that there was widespread disagreement about the interpretation of the new theory.

On the Single Electron Double Slit Experiment – A Randomly-Jumping Electron Approach

Lizhi Xin, Kevin Xin

Abstract One of the greatest mysteries that has puzzled and seemingly hoodwinked our very understanding of nature is the single electron double slit experiment – one that Feynman termed the central mystery of quantum mechanics. At the heart of this mystery is how can an electron that is a physical particle exhibit a wave-like property? We’ve proposed a non-counterintuitive way to explain this phenomenon called the randomly-jumping electron hypothesis, in which the electron randomly “jumps” in discrete succession to specific points only and not others which is what causes the electron to indeed be a classical particle only but is able to produce a wave-like interference pattern. To provide supporting evidence for our hypothesis, we’ve developed a computer program to simulate the single electron double slit experiment by treating the electron as a classical particle while still exhibiting wave-like fringes in agreement with real-world observed data of the single electron double slit experiment performed. Our interpretation does not set out to “solve” the mystery of why an electron can produce a wave-like interference pattern once and for all, however our hypothesis is a monism ontological interpretation that does address some of the crucial debates that have remained unsolved for 100 years since the formulation of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Mechanics Plan B

Stefan G. Freundt

The Quantum mechanics works but is not yet well understood. The difficulty in understanding lies not so much in the already very sophisticated mathematical formulations, but are much more rooted in the question of how the objects do that? Starting with the double-slit experiment, we will first provide the viewpoint of quantum mechanics. This leads us to the wave-particle duality. Photons have both wave and particle properties. Then we see the exact opposite: photons, electrons... are neither wave nor particle and address the question: Can we find truth from falsity? Can quantum mechanics be wrong in their conditions and yet lead to so excellent results? We then address the question of how good the mathematical prerequisites in classical physics is and how well they are fulfilled in quantum physics. Finally, we look at some very basic experiments from the point of view of the objects.

Rethinking the Double Slit Experiment

Ke Xiao

The wave-particle duality relate to the space-time property of matter by Planck constant. The fine structure constant is linked to the double-slit and the uncertainty principle in Quantum Mechanics. Compton scattering and interference of doubleslit is established by the cross-linked angle T1 = Tc cos( θ2), and vice versa. The single-slit diffraction is described by Sincfunction which could combine the classical diffraction and quantum interference effect in the same experiment. This space-time model explain the experimental mystery of the double-slit.

Quantum Mechanics Is Not That Hard to Understand

Alexander Turishchev

In this text, I don’t want to add anything new to quantum mechanics.I just want to help people understand it, to make learning a little easier.For example, a child, a teenager, or anyone curious about the subject — they want to know and understand.But right now, quantum mechanics is presented in such a way that after reading, a person still can’t find a simple answer to the question: “what actually is this?”That’s why I want to make it easier for everyone who wants to understand.

Response to Stuart Kauffman: The Measurement Problem in Quantum Mechanics

Carl Peterson

Richard Feynman, a 1965 Nobel Prize winner in physics, quoting an unknown philosopher, said: “It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.” And Feynman's reply: “Well, they don't.” Double-slit experiments with both slits open and the wave interference pattern created by electrons falling on a screen behind the slits speak volumes to those two statements and the interpretive problem created by the non-deterministic behavior of microscopic matter. Quantum mechanics (QM) with its successes over the last 85 years has created the information age, and with insights into nature has given humans an economy concentrated with products based on quantum technology. All this even with questions about the fundamental aspects of measurement in the quantum world still being debated! Discussing the measurement aspect of QM does not require a physics background where physics scholars join other scholarly disciplines engaged in gaining knowledge about the reality of the one world of human experience. The necessary tools for discussion are imagination, speculation, and curiosity. But for a new credible interpretation of the measurement problem, quantum training or a quantum theoretician is required.
