1. I used a polarizer and the light still appears to be expanding out horizontally like a wave. This is where I am confused. If the wave function collapsed, I always thought it would be like this: Instead, the pattern spreads out very wide...

But overtime, if single photons were fired repeatedly, having the orthogonal filters should result in two spots. Perhaps I should show an image of my results to help clear up my question. Attached is what I got when orthogonal filters were used. From my understanding, doing this experiment with...

Now I am confused as to how this could ever be quantum, even if you fired one photon at a time. I thought that the wave function collapse would mean that the photon starts acting out as a particle, meaning there should be two spots of light. In this experiment, you just get two waves that...

Thank you everybody for the input. I think I have a bearing of what all of this means now. When I had orthogonal filters on each slit, the result looked very much like the single slit experiment. The light extended outwards horizontally, but no interference was present. Does this mean both...

Click here for the publication. Having performed this experiment, I have gotten clean results. Essentially, a double slit is made by putting an electron beam in the way of a wire with orthogonal polarizers on either side. This destroys the expected interference pattern since the polarized...
