It was recently shown that different coincidence patterns are predicted by QM and dBB when a double slit experiment is realised under specific conditions and, therefore, an experiment can test the two theories. In this letter we present the first realisation of such a double slit experiment by using correlated photons produced in type I Parametric Down Conversion. Our results confirm QM contradicting dBB predictions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-06-28T12:22:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard quantum mechanics", "first experimental test", "broglie-bohm theory", "double slit experiment", "confirm qm contradicting dbb predictions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 591275 } } }
