TL;DR
Does anyone on this forum run the double slit experiment with electrons?
Does anyone on this forum run the double slit experiment with electrons? I have an idea for a tweak which might help solve it.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I am talking about the double slit experiment of quantum physics said to hold the central problem of quantum physics.

No, it just illustrates the main way in which quantum physics is different from classical physics. That's not a problem, it's just a fact.

I'll agree to disagree, it seems clear physicists are trying to understand why it differs, please leave the question there in case someone in a lab actually doing research sees it and can collaborate.

Discussions of that belong in the quantum interpretations forum, not this one. As far as actually doing experiments, physicists have been quite comfortable with the fact that QM differs from classical physics for many decades now.

PF is not for original research. If you have original research you want to do in quantum physics, you will need to look elsewhere.

Thread closed.
