Yes, but that works only if they can control the electrons to be fired ONE by ONE every 1000th of a second. How did they do that? I did not find any clue from the original paper. My understanding of the argument is that all they did was to control the electrons at a current ~1muA, so roughly...

the detection screen is halved as asked in the original question. I am curious if anyone has confirmed that interference pattern of single electron build up is unchanged on the half screen.

Gavory: I just read this thread, and I found most of the answers missed the central point of the d-slit exp on electrons. The question of electron interaction is not relevant for the experiment because the central part of the setup is to make sure that electrons are passed through the...

Physicsdreams: I disagree with Jncanter. The double-slit experiment, or the debate thereof, claims to have invalidated the conventional probabilistic view of the particle (the second view quoted by you). It established a truly classically impossible state of superimposition. It is this...

DrChinese: has any experiment been done with half detection screen? Since QM is fully counter-intuitive surprises, I wonder if anyone has bothered to check.

In the two well referenced experiments [1, 2] that claimed to have observed double slit interference pattern of SINGLE electron, the central claim is that there could not have been more than ONE electron present at the same time in the apparatus (or such probability is negligible). However...

Thats good. Thank u. But can you explain why u said that it doesn't matter to the Maxwell distribution whether paticles are distinguishable or not? I thought, looks incorrectly, that Maxwell distribution is based on distinguishable particles statistics. Thanks

Does the experiment confirming Bose Einstein condensation prove that identical particles are indistinguishable? How does that reconcile conceptually with Maxwell distribution to which Bose Einstein distribution converts? Is this a result of the strength of interaction among the identical...
