Gerhard Paulus of Texas A&M University and co-workers in Berlin have developed a new look for Young's double-slit experiment. Interference pattern has been observed with electrons that pass through a double slit in time, not space, as a result of being ejected from an atom at one of two possible times by a laser pulse.

Golly! This thing must be in at least 3 different threads/places in PF already! And I still haven't seen an exact citation yet. Can someone provide a citation on where this was published, or about to be published? PhysicsWeb usually is good in providing the source of their news, but for some odd reason, they neglected this one, and Paulus webpage made no reference of this either.

Zz.
 
Sorry for the repeat. I just saw another thread with the same topic.

You can contact Peter Rodgers, the Author of this story, and ask him about the reference.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
