> Physicists in the US and Canada say that they have done the best job
> yet of realizing Richard Feynman's famous thought experiment about
> how single electrons pass through two slits. Although the researchers
> are not the first to recreate the experiment in the lab, they say
> that their incarnation best captures the essence of the original
> exercise.
>
> Feynman originally outlined his thought experiment in volume three of
> his famous series The Feynman Lectures on Physics as a way of
> illustrating wave–particle duality in quantum mechanics. In the book,
> he invites the reader to imagine firing individual electrons through
> two slits and then marking the position where each electron strikes a
> screen behind the slits.
