A single electron | fired through a double slit shows an interference pattern, | if conditions are right. | | Well, even a blind bat gets a nudge and a wink once in awhile, | I guess. A single electron fired through a double slit may be deflected. A single impact point is not and never will be an "interference pattern", one can only see a probability distribution with multiple electrons. Actually one never fires electrons through double slits, the diffraction pattern comes off a molecular array. Watson and Crick used DNA as the "double slit", which is in no way a double slit. http://www.practicalphysics.org/imag...eg300/1376.jpg |
