- Two slit experiment with electrons: This is a link to a simple and informative 1 minute video by Akiro Tonomura for those not familiar with the profound mystery of the two slit experiment. http://www.hqrd.hitachi.co.jp/rd/moviee/doubleslite-n.wmv This video shows how electrons, shot one at a time through a pair of tiny slits, land on a screen in a pattern that appears random...at first. Thinking in terms of classical physics, one would expect that particles flying through hole would land randomly on the screen behind, like baseballs from a pitching machine. By the end of the video, we see that the pattern is instead the familiar pattern of wave interference. The individual electrons are behaving like waves, and essentially 'interfering with themselves' as they pass through both slits simultaneously. A completely satisfying description of this behavior does not yet exist, and lies at the heart of the quantum mystery. It is the focus of these papers.
