Dual slit experiment: closing/opening a slit after the particle passes it. .

Hello everyone,

I recall reading some time ago about an extension to the dual-slit experiment, where researchers either closed or opened a 2nd slit after the particle passed the slit but before it hit the detector.

Does anyone know about this research, like the results, and who performed it?


Thanks!

If you open/close the slit after the particle passes, everything will be the same as if you have not did it.

Perhaps you were actually reading about delayed choice experiments, but that's something different.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
