ALICE does the double-slit Using collisions between lead nuclei at the #LHC, the ALICE Collaboration has measured an interference pattern akin to that of the famous double-slit experiment. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dPjns6SR

"Double slit experiment is the best way to understand weird phenomenon of quantum mechanics like uncertainty principle, superposition principle and wave-particle duality. Or in other words it's a representative of the three"--- Double slit experiment is one experiment through which we can understand all the weird phenomenon of quantum mechanics like Superposition principle, uncertainty principle and wave-particle duality. Even if we carry this experiment with a single particle like an electron or a photon the result is a fringe pattern on the other side of the slits. This means the electron behaves like a wave before making an observation.This itself explains the uncertainty in its position in space-time until being observed or it represents it's wavefunction:the combination of the possibilities of finding it in different locations prior to being observed. This combination is the superposition principle. So electron prior to being observed exists in all possible superposition states it can acquire.

I share with you my physics experiment maybe sth new about light Unfortunately I cant go further with it you you can it is the Young slits with photo electric effect  https://einsteinwithme.blogspot.com/2024/05/didipostman-physics-experiment.html?m=1

Here it's the way through two slits. This means that before observation,a single electron simply goes simultaneously through both the slits. Only on observation ,the fringe pattern on the other side disappears as electron is found to go through one of the two slits as if it knows that it is being observed. A conscious observer plays a crucial role over here. He is given an authority to break down the superposition to what we mathematically term as wavefunction collapse. Extending superposition principle to Schrodinger's cat looks hypothetical as we are extending it to macroscopic object but decoherence do happen on cosmic scales or at larger scales like in case of black holes via Hawking radiations. In experiments like Double slit and Schrodingers cat observer is also a part of environment through which decoherence happens.

So proud to be a little part of the incredible CERN projects with our temperature sensors. It is a real honor!

Looks like YDSE just got a heavy-metal upgrade! Remember when we were all mesmerized by those photon waves in school? Well, now lead nuclei are playing quantum peek-a-boo at the #LHC. Who knew the stuff we learned in physics class would scale up to cosmic levels? 😅

Très Informatif ! Lorsque j'ai visité le CERN, j'ai été étonné par le discours d'Alice sur son travail.

What were the slits? Also shouldn’t there only be one source?
