Can the double-slit experiment distinguish between quantum interpretations?

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Despite the astonishing successes of quantum mechanics, due to some fundamental problems such as the measurement problem and quantum arrival time problem, the predictions of the theory are in some cases not quite clear and unique.


The measurement and quantum arrival time problems have originated various predictions for the join spatiotemporal distribution of particle detection events, derived from different formulations and interpretations of the quantum theory. By reworking the famous double-slit experiment, the authors propose a realizable setup to probe such predictions.
