BOUNDLESS EXPANSE 3D

⚛ Double-Slit Experiment

Wave-particle duality · which-path measurement · interference pattern
Key formula: I(y) = I₀·cos²(πy/Δy)·sinc²(πy/w) Δy = λL/d (Streifenabstand)

Electrons or photons sent through two slits create an interference pattern — even one at a time. Each particle passes both slits simultaneously via its wavefunction and interferes with itself. Intensity: I(y) = cos²(πdy/λL)·sinc²(πay/λL). Measuring 'which path' collapses the wavefunction: the interference pattern disappears (Bohr complementarity). The simulator samples positions from |ψ|² using rejection sampling.
