The patterns qualitatively corresponded well with experiments. Several properties such as concave single slit pattern and large influence of slight displacement of the emission position were different from the experimental results. In this study we tried other slit conditions and obtained consistent patterns with experiments. We do not claim that the adaptive dynamics is the principle of quantum mechanics, but the present results support the probability of adaptive dynamics as the candidate of the basis of quantum mechanics. We discuss the advantages of the adaptive dynamical view for foundations of quantum mechanics.展开更多

The transducer signal from electric field intensity distribution on the interference screen is given by using the transfer matrix method（TMM） and two-slit interference principle.The result shows that the structure we propose is advantageous for sensing as the interference pattern is very sensitive to the ambient refractive index around the microring.A small perturbation in refractive index around the microring△n_c will result in a notable shift of destructive interference points（DIPs） on the interference screen.By detecting the shift of the DIPs,the ambient refractive index change can be obtained.展开更多

In classical optics, OAM is related to an optical vortex with a helical phase structure. In quantum optics, photons with a twisted or helical phase structure will carry a quantized OAM. To our knowledge, however, so far, no experiment has demonstrated the fundamental property of the OAM at the single-photon level. In this Letter, we have demonstrated the average photon trajectories of twisted photons in a double-slit interference. We have experimentally captured the double-slit interference process of twisted photons by a time-gated intensified charge-coupled device camera, which is trigged by a heralded detection. Our work provides new perspectives for understanding the micro-behaviors of twisted particles and enables new applications in imaging and sensing.展开更多
