Young's experiment and the finiteness of information
arXiv:quant-ph/0201026 · doi:10.1098/rsta.2001.0981
Abstract
Young's experiment is the quintessential quantum experiment. It is argued here that quantum interference is a consequence of the finiteness of information. The observer has the choice whether that information manifests itself as path information or in the interference pattern or in both partially to the extent defined by the finiteness of information.
