“…The first real single-electron interference experiments that were conducted were electron-biprism experiments (for a review see Refs. 47,48) in which single electrons either pass to the left or to the right of a conducting wire (there are no real slits in this type of experiments). [49][50][51] In these experiments the interference pattern is built up from many independent detection events.…”

We review an event-based simulation approach which reproduces the statistical distributions of wave theory not by requiring the knowledge of the solution of the wave equation of the whole system but by generating detection events oneby-one according to an unknown distribution. We illustrate its applicability to various single photon and single neutron interferometry experiments and to two Bell-test experiments, a single-photon Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment employing post-selection for photon pair identification and a single-neutron Bell test interferometry experiment with nearly 100% detection efficiency.

“…In the two-slit experiment, placing a quantum system on one side of the two slits produces a series of single, bright spots at specific, unpredictable locations on the screen on the other side of the slits. In this sense the system exhibits particle properties, at a specific time and place on the screen [303,304]. If both slits are open then, when sufficiently many spots have appeared on the screen, an interference pattern emerges.…”

Understanding quantum mechanics: a review and synthesis in precise language

This review, of the understanding of quantum mechanics, is broad in scope, and aims to reflect enough of the literature to be representative of the current state of the subject. To enhance clarity, the main findings are presented in the form of a coherent synthesis of the reviewed sources. The review highlights core characteristics of quantum mechanics. One is statistical balance in the collective response of an ensemble of identically prepared systems, to differing measurement types. Another is that states are mathematical terms prescribing probability aspects of future events, relating to an ensemble of systems, in various situations. These characteristics then yield helpful insights on entanglement, measurement, and widely-discussed experiments and analyses. The review concludes by considering how these insights are supported, illustrated and developed by some specific approaches to understanding quantum mechanics. The review uses non-mathematical language precisely (terms defined) and rigorously (consistent meanings), and uses only such language. A theory more descriptive of independent reality than is quantum mechanics may yet be possible. One step in the pursuit of such a theory is to reach greater consensus on how to understand quantum mechanics. This review aims to contribute to achieving that greater consensus, and so to that pursuit.

“…In the quantum mechanics framework, the same kind of double-slit experiment can be performed with electrons, leading to the same kind of interference patterns. It shows that matter exhibits wave-duality behavior, exactly like light (Merli, Missiroli, Pozzi, 1976) (Rosa, 2012). In order to describe it, the d'Alembertian"s equation of propagation =0, is then replaced by the non relativist Schrödinger equation (ih/2)/t +(h 2 /8 2 m)=0.…”

On Einstein’s Program and Quantum Double Slit Experiment

The Einstein’s program enables a theoretical economy for quantum double slit experiment, in its wave-particle duality behavior, with the unification of first and second quantifications for light and matter. It introduces a space-like amplitude function u(r,t), which completes the usual time-like functions ψ(r,t) of quantum mechanics and quantum fields. The Einstein’s program is founded upon a scalar field propagating at speed of light c. It forms a common relativist framework, for classical and quantum properties of matter and interactions. Matter properties derive from standing waves, and interactions from progressive waves. The classical domain arises in the geometrical optics approximation, when frequencies are infinitely high, and then hidden. The quantum domain corresponds to wave optics approximation. Adiabatic variations of frequencies yield electromagnetic interaction and dynamical laws of energy-momentum conservation and least action principle.
