Nonlinear quantum waves in the light of recent slit experiments

Abstract

The history of the double-slit experiment (DSE), is more than two centuries old. Its results played a significant role in the discovery of the wave nature of light, and then formed the basis for important provisions of quantum mechanics. However, the results are still difficult to interpret unequivocally. In particular, they have been treated recently even outside the framework of the universally accepted, experimentally verifiable science. For example, they were associated with the influence on the experiment of the experimenter's consciousness or with the influence of worlds which exist parallel to our world. At the same time, indeed, the interpretation of the results is extremely difficult and the situation with the understanding of these results, especially in the light of recent researches, is becoming more and more complicated. The purpose of our study is to analyze the results of several recent experiments and to introduce a new understanding of them based on taking into account the possibility of synchronous interaction of all the components of the process of the experiment. We believe that it is necessary to take into account the nonlinear nature of the interacting fields. We believe that in order to explain the results of the DSE, it is first necessary to introduce greater clarity in quantum mechanics.
