There has been wide interest in splitter, quantum tunneling, and double-slit experiments for a long time. The states of single material particles are typically explained as being independent of other objects (and/or electromagnetic fields) and interactions. This independence causes counterintuitive explanations. By analyzing the research conducted separately by Wineland's group and Haroche's group, we naturally deduced that the states are dependent on other objects. Based on this dependence, our unified explanation is more intuitive. We design a double-slit thought experiment that can solve the center problem, i.e., which-path information. The dependence can also work for qubits in quantum information. To emphasize and use the dependence in the future, we propose a fundamental postulate that no material particle is free as the zeroth postulate of quantum mechanics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
