Event-based simulation of interference with alternatingly blocked particle sources

TL;DR

This paper investigates how an event-based corpuscular model predicts interference patterns in two-beam experiments with alternating source blocking, proposing experiments to test these predictions.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of interference with alternatingly blocked sources within an event-based corpuscular framework and suggests experimental tests for these predictions.

Findings

The model predicts specific interference effects under alternating blocking.

Experimental tests can distinguish between corpuscular and wave models.

The approach offers new insights into particle-based explanations of interference.

Abstract

We analyze the predictions of an event-based corpuscular model for interference in the case of two-beam interference experiments in which the two sources are alternatingly blocked. We show that such experiments may be used to test specific predictions of the corpuscular model.
