Re: Two-slit experiment



Andreas Most
I remember having read about a double-slit experiment
where the whole setup was disassembled and then
(after some days) reassembled between the single
events.

This one?

In 1909 Geoffrey Ingram Taylor conducted an experiment
in which he showed that even the feeblest light source
could lead to interference fringes.

"The longest experiment took 3 months, corresponding
to the intensity of a candle more than a mile away"

It seems that this experiment led to Dirac's famous koan
"each photon then interferes only with itself".
