An Experiment With Unknown Time Delays (299 words)
At all other times, the output unit was to be switched off.
An additional difficulty is that no information about `episode boundaries' is given.
Events were represented in a local manner: At a given time, a randomly chosen input unit was activated with a value of 1.0, the others were de-activated.
New look for classic experiment (March 2005) - News - PhysicsWeb (760 words)
Experiments have also shown that an interference pattern builds up even if there is only one particle in the apparatus at any time, and that the pattern disappears if we try to determine which slit it passes through.
The latest experiment is radically different because the slits exist in time not space, and because the interference pattern appears when the number of electrons at the detector is plotted as a function of their energy rather than their position on a screen.
There was a small probability that an atom would be ionized by one or other of the maxima, which therefore played the role of the slits, with the resulting electron being accelerated towards a detector.
