Alternative Approach to Copenhagen Interpretation

Abstract

Pil-Jae Kim

In this study, a double-slit experiment was simulated with only classical-mechanics assumptions to demonstrate that the phenomena associated with this experiment can be explained by classical mechanics. The experiment was conducted with the particle nature intact, by performing observations that did not affect the particle motion while recording the particle position at each simulation step. Only one experimental particle was assumed per session to prevent external effects. Nevertheless, wave patterns, which have previously been thought to occur only quantum-mechanically, were observed on the inspection plate. This study focused on proving that classical mechanics can explain the double-slit wave pattern.
