String theory is touted as bridging the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics, so I'm presuming it can explain everything in QM.

How does string theory explain the results of the two slit experiment and the delayed-choice experiment?

(pop science reader's answer, if possible, please)

String theory is still quantum; it can't EXPLAIN quantum phenomena because it IS a quantum phenomenon. So SST doesn't say anything more about these issues than QM does.
 
Or doesn't it? (I know you know what I am thinking right now.)
 

Thread 'Detecting Gravitons?'

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
