M. Holden, D.G.C. McKeon, and T.N. Sherry
TL;DR
This paper explores how adding polarizers to the double slit experiment affects quantum interference, providing insights into the role of measurement and polarization in quantum mechanics.
Contribution
It introduces a modified double slit setup with polarizers at the slits, analyzing the impact on interference patterns and quantum behavior.
Findings
Polarizers alter the interference pattern depending on their orientation.
The experiment demonstrates the influence of measurement on quantum coherence.
Results highlight the role of polarization in quantum interference phenomena.
Abstract
The double slit experiment provides a standard way of demonstrating how quantum mechanics works. We consider modifying the standard arrangement so that a photon beam incident upon the double slit encounters a polarizer in front of either one or both of the slits.
