We present a detailed calculation of the detection patterns in the two-particle two-slit experiment by extending Feynman's Gaussian slit approach to multi-mode states. We show the existence of two regimes depending on the mode distributions. In one of them we find a novel behavior for bosons, with detection patterns almost equal to those of distinguishable particles although the overlapping is large. As a byproduct of our analysis we conclude that the interaction at the diffraction grating is an efficient method to increase the initial overlapping. We propose a scheme, within the reach of present day technology, to experimentally verify our results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-02-24T12:11:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-particle two-slit experiment", "detection patterns", "extending feynmans gaussian slit approach", "exchange effects manifest", "day technology" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal D", "year": 2014, "month": "Feb", "volume": 68, "number": 2, "pages": 34 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014EPJD...68...34S" } } }
