I have seen this experiment done with a laser, but I want to know how hard it is to do the version of the experiment where only a single particle is fired toward the slits at a time. Is it possible for me to carry out such an experiment, or does such a thing require lots of cash?
Also, from what I've read, the experiment has been performed with "detectors" of some sort on each slit to see which one the particle goes through, and with the detectors there the particles only land in the region defined by the sum of squares of the probabilities from each slit, but without the detectors the particles are described by the square of sums.. What kind of detectors are used that still allow the particles to continue on their journey otherwise untouched?
