Can we do double slit experiment using quasiparticles?

Aren't atoms quasiparticles?

 

You'd need to discover them in nature first, then develop controlled means of emission and detection, or source existing ones, but I don't see why not.

 

Not sure about the double slit experiment as such, but there is certainly a lot of research on doing interferometry experiments with quasiparticles, especially quantum hall states. There are quite clever Mach-Zender interferometers you can design for QH quasiparticles.

 

phonons=quantized lattice vibrations.
There are a lot of other examples of quasiparticles. One good example are excitons, which are bound states of one electron and one hole in a semiconductor.

 

No, not really. However, a collective excitation of a two or more atoms can create a quasiparticle.

 

So two or more nucleons is insufficient, and "quasiparticle" is more specific than just "a complex that can be treated as if it were a single fictional particle"?

 

The atom in the lattics vibrate and the collective mode is phonon. The wave on the lattices can have the interference, so it is possible to observe there interfernce, which can be thought as one kind of double slit experiment. Just the setup may be different dramatically from the setup to photon.

 

Maybe the entire test could be done within something like a spin-ice. Anyway, I can imagine using filaments of the lattice material, or building the detectors within the lattice.

@kof95959595: Well, probably not, unless you could make the transmitting filaments part of the lattice, (and not filaments). I think constructing a solid which tapers to a point (somewhat like the tip of a SEM), might allow distance to be covered.

There is also the use of a sonic black hole to study phonons, but it would not be "clicks on a detector" or "dots on a screen"... yeah.
