Is the mechanism behind the single particle interference between photon, electron and buckyball different?


Reason for interference
Photon - interference caused by maxwell electromagnetic waves?
Electron - interference caused by Schroedinger probability waves?
Buckyball - interference caused by Schroedinger probability waves?

Pass through slits?

Photon - don't know (maybe through both slits?)..breaks and combines into one, perhaps
Electron - dunno...breaks and combines into one, perhaps
Buckyball - must be passing through one of the slits, else it might break?
