This article is about the famous double silt experiment on electrons which sparked up many among the prominent scientists about the interpretation of the result of the interpretation.
Abstract As long as no one has done diffraction experiment in the spark chamber (DESC) , it makes sense to do this experiment. This experiment has two possible results: (1) Diffraction fringes cannot be obtained; (2) Path information and diffraction patterns can be obtained at the same time. If the result is (1), it provides direct and unambiguous experimental evidence for the existing Copenhagen quantum mechanics interpretation system, which can avoid some unnecessary disputes; If the result is (2), it will cause a scientific revolution in the field of quantum mechanics interpretation (After all, most people now think that "as long as the particle path is observed in the double slit experiment, the interference fringes will disappear"). "The result of the electron diffraction experiment in a magnetic field—diffraction fringes can still be obtained" was discovered. This finding provides an experimental evidence for DESC to be meaningful and predicts that the experimental result of DESC is the result (2).
The discovery of the electron and its strange properties is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Based on their spin properties, photons and electrons, now categorized as fermions and bosons under the Standard Model, exhibit an enigmatic dual nature of wave and particle. This property, the interpretation of which is still debated today, is supported by various experiments, as we saw in Chap. 4 . One of these, in particular, can be considered the basis of any interpretative model on the dual nature of photons and electrons, the double-slit experiment. This experiment will lead to the famous Copenhagen interpretation, which is still a key to explain quantum mechanics today. With all its incredible weirdness, the double-slit experiment is thus the basis of quantum mechanics, as we shall see in this chapter. Experiments and interpretations of the strange quantum properties of the electron have also led to the discovery of other physical phenomena seemingly impossible according to classical physics, such as the tunnel effect and quantum entanglement. These phenomena have no classical equivalent and can be explained only by resorting to quantum properties of electrons.
Abstract Young’s double slit experiments, which represent the mystery of quantum mechanics, have been interpreted by quantum probability waves and de Broglie-Bohm’s trajectory/pilot waves. To study in detail, the double slit experiments are extended to the cross double slit experiments. We argue that an interpretation must be able to explain all of the double slit and cross double slit experiments consistently. To test the interpretations, the comprehensive double slit experiments have been performed, which challenge both the wave interpretation and the trajectory interpretation. The cross double slit experiments and comprehensive double slit experiments provide a new tool for studying the mystery of double slit, wave-particle duality, complementarity principle, wave theory and trajectory theory. In this article, we review the cross double slit experiments and comprehensive double slit experiments, and report new experiments.
