Amazingly confirms the wave particle duality of quantum mechanics.
The effect is even more remarkable when done with individual particles such individual photons or electrons.
Richard Feynman liked to stress how this experiment can illustrate the core ideas of quantum mechanics. Notably, he night have created the infinitely many slits thought experiment which illustrates the path integral formulation.
The double-slit experiment is a famous physics experiment that demonstrates fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the wave-particle duality of light and matter. The experiment was first performed by Thomas Young in 1801 and has been reinterpreted in the context of quantum mechanics over the years. ### Description of the Experiment: 1. **Setup**: The basic setup involves a coherent light source (like a laser) directed at a barrier with two closely spaced slits.
