Quantum Interference by Entangled Trajectories

【摘要】 The quantum interference pattern in the double-slit experiment is qualitatively reproduced by using the entangled trajectory molecular dynamics method and compared with previous works.We compare entangled trajectory and classical trajectory with the same initial state in the phase space to show quantum effect in the evolution of trajectories.It is involved with breakdown in the statistical independence of the trajectories.Although our result does not agree well with exact quantum calculation in quantitatively with loss of part of interference pattern peaks,we can offer a reasonable explanation by analyzing quantum interference of two Gaussian wave packets in the phase space.更多还原
