Video recording true single-photon double-slit interference
Commercially available cameras do not have a low-enough dark noise to directly capture doubleslit interference at the single photon level. In this work, camera noise levels are significantly reduced by activating the camera only when the presence of a photon has been detected by the independent detection of a time-correlated photon produced via parametric down-conversion. This triggering scheme...
متن کاملPsychophysical interactions with a single-photon double-slit optical system
Six experiments were conducted using a single-photon double-slit apparatus to test von Neumann's notion that the quantum wavefunction is “collapsed” by what he called a psychophysical interaction. Individuals were asked to direct their attention toward or away from the optical system while receiving information about the number of photons arriving per second at an interference fringe minimum. O...
متن کاملDouble-slit Interference and Temporal Topos
The electron double-slit interference is re-examined from the point of view of temporal topos. Temporal topos (or t-topos) is an abstract algebraic (cate gorical) method using the theory of sheaves. A brief introduction to t-topos is given. When the structural foundation for describing particles is based on t-topos, the particle-wave duality of electron is a natural consequence. A pres heaf a...
متن کاملHuman Visual System as a Double-Slit Single Photon Interference Sensor: A Comparison between Modellistic and Biophysical Tests
This paper describes a computational approach to the theoretical problems involved in the Young's single-photon double-slit experiment, focusing on a simulation of this experiment in the absence of measuring devices. Specifically, the human visual system is used in place of a photomultiplier or similar apparatus. Beginning with the assumption that the human eye perceives light in the presence o...
متن کاملSingle Photon Interference
In studying the Mach-Zender interferometer and Young’s Double Slit experimental setups, we can observe the wave-particle duality of light using an attenuated laser beam. In the Mach-Zender setup, we demonstrate that the fringe visibility of the interference pattern changes as the analyzing polarizer angle changes which controls “which path” information. In addition, the fringe visibility increa...
