Quantum double slits moving past a quantum particle?

[Leopolitan]

TL;DR

Relative double slit experiment

Open question: Can we be sure that a quantum model double slit doesn't create a carrier interference pattern around the slits, in the fields, already there? Relativity is such a big deal in physics but so many models only consider seemingly weird quantum particles going through normal classical slits. Maybe things make more sense when we imagine quantum slits moving toward a quantum particle and vice versa. Let's think relatively!

What does "a carrier interference pattern" mean?

What difference would "quantum slits" make?

Do you have a reference for a model that has any of these features? Or are you just making it up? Personal speculation is not allowed here.

Sorry, getting used to the rules. The paper below discusses pilot carrier waves in terms of hydrodynamics.

I see your point about wanton speculation. Where does one raise such discussions without ending up talking to metaphysical types?

"Hydrodynamics" here means "hydrodynamic quantum theory", which is more or less a version of Bohmian mechanics. So this thread really belongs in the interpretations forum, and I will move it.

QM interpretations can be discussed in the interpretations forum (where this thread will be moved in a moment).

Personal speculation cannot be discussed anywhere on PF.

If hydrodynamic quantum theory is just an alternative interpretation of QM, which is what it appears to be (it doesn't change any of the experimental predictions, it just tells a different story about what is going on behind the scenes, so to speak), then there is no way to experimentally test it against other interpretations, since all interpretations make the same experimental predictions.
