In the double slit experiment - what exactly is the measuring device?
.. the have to measure witch slit the photon went trough - how do they do it?
- measuring anything means interacting with it. Changing it, really. So, isn't it obvious that interacting with the photon in any way will change its .. trajectory?
The photon doesn't hit all the probable lines in the screen at the same time. All it does is hits the screen one by one and making the interference pattern over time. - witch means that whatever is interacting with the photon creates the probability of the photon hitting one of the lines on the wall, with the highest chance at the middle one and decreasing with the number on the left or right.
For me - this doesn't mean that the photon is interacting with itself or something super weird. All the experiment proves is that interacting with the photon will.. well.. you know.. interact. Interacting in a specific way will produce a specific result. Dohh.
Soooo.. still - I am interested in what way do they actually measure witch slit it goes trough. (?)
