What I never understood is, how do you actually detect a particle

Ok imagine a light sensitive diode. Imagine it outs out a voltage range for light. You get nothing below planck energy. Break up the signal timeframe and you can see each particle being detected on an oscilliscope.

This actually made einstein screech and vow not ro shave his headbeard.

But with a light sensitive diode, you still have to absorb the particle to detect it, right?
What I want to know is, how do you detect that a single particle is flying through the slit (or one of the slits) without "catching" it.

If done with electrons, you can detect the magnetic field caused by the electron passing by.

Like so:

(But this is technically cheating.)

if you can detect the electron going through either slit then you collapse the wave function and wont get the diffraction pattern. T detect is to interact.

this guy is right about a detection method.
But if you measure the path the electron takes you collapse the quantum state.

Could you also detect a particle like an electron by shooting photons at it?

Double slit experiment can be controlled by consciousness dude

>>8747003
I read an article where people did exactly that.

>>8747010
weed lmao

>>8747003
That's literally part of the experiment.

>>8747030
They never mention that part of the experiment in PopSci books or school
