I keep seeing references to the observer effect in the double -slit experiment where the a
of observing the photon or electron going through the slits causes a collapse of the wave function. so, instead of getting a cool interference pattern, you get the pattern expected if the light was acting as a particle.
Has this actually been tested experimentally?
If so, I have not been able to find it anywhere.
If anyone can post a citation from a peer-reviewed physics journal where this phenomenon is reported, I would appreciate it.
thanks,
