The Real Double Slit Experiment

This video gives a different perspective on a more than 200 years old experiment and discusses in detail both the experiment itself, as well as the quantum mechanics behind it. In the video I show you how you can use a microscope to visualize the wave propagation and the development of the spatial probability distribution for the multi and single photon experiment. WARNING: do not attempt to repeat this experiment without using a camera Looking at laser beams under a microscope with your bare eyes instead of a camera can kill your eyesight instantly and leave you blind for the rest of you life.
