If leptons can stack up on top of each other and not interfere than how can a single lepton do so in the two split experement?

Jilang said:Thinking out loud though. Is the interference pattern common between fermions and bosons?
wildee44 said:And to say that it is the wave function does the interfering I must refer you all to the June 2013 issue of Scientific American.
wildee44 said:Just an afterthought. Mathematics can imply or define reality but has no causal effect.
Can you provide a reference to that terminology?wildee44 said:But to say that two split experiment does not exist I can only say this was not my terminology I used.

Quantum interference is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more quantum states coexist and interact with each other, resulting in a combined state that is different from the individual states.
Quantum interference occurs when particles behave as both waves and particles, and their wave functions overlap, leading to constructive or destructive interference.
Quantum interference is significant because it demonstrates the wave-particle duality of matter and can be harnessed to manipulate and control quantum states for applications in quantum computing, communication, and sensing.
No, quantum interference is a phenomenon that occurs at the quantum level and is not observable in everyday life. It requires highly controlled environments and specialized equipment to be observed.
Quantum interference is related to the uncertainty principle because it arises from the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics, where the exact position and momentum of a particle cannot be simultaneously known. The interference patterns observed in experiments reflect this inherent uncertainty in the behavior of quantum particles.
