Abstract
Name: Omiros (Homer) PapadopoulosTitle: The Double Slit Experiment: Particle or Wave? (Or both?)Abstract: One of the most famous and oldest Quantum Physics experiments, thedouble slit experiment, demonstrated that light acts both as particles, as well aswaves. First executed in 1801 by Thomas Young, it additionally proved that other particlescan act in the same way, and played a vital role in the development of Particlephysics. This presentation will explain both the science behind it, as well as featuringa demonstration of the experiment itself.The Presentation involves a theoretical segment and a practical segment, where theexperiment is demonstrated.
