The biggest lie about the double slit experiment

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is about the biggest lie people are told about the double slit experiment: that electrons are particles when they’re observed, but waves when they’re not. The truth is much more interesting.

I did the quantum eraser experiment at home

From Looking Glass Universe. This video is about the quantum eraser experiment. Understanding this experiment helps us understand the measurement problem in quantum physics, and it might even give us a clue for how to solve it. The write up of the mathematics of the quantum eraser is here: https://looking-glass-universe.teachable.com/courses/quantum-mechanics-fundamentals13/lectures/60992171 It does require knowing the…
