This discussion presents an alternative explanation for the double slit interference phenomenon, suggesting that the surface of the slit is not entirely smooth, allowing photons to enter gaps and create interference patterns. The conversation also raises questions about the applicability of this explanation to other interference patterns observed in SQUIDs, supercurrent interference, and electron and neutron interference. The inquiry emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of surface interactions in quantum mechanics.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, quantum mechanics students, and researchers interested in the nuances of interference phenomena and surface interactions in quantum systems.
vin300 said:i think I have an alternative explanation to the double slit.We can assume that the slit surface is not completely smooth,thus a photon may enter these gaps thus allowing for interference in the case of single photon emitter
