And does the detector detect that the particle passed through it always?, sometimes?, never?, 50% of the time?.
These are actual experiments right?, not “thought experiments” like Schroedinger’s cat?.

The detector at the slit says that about half of the particles went through that slit, and presumably the other half went through the other slit. And yes, these are actual experiments that have actually been done, with the results really matching the predictions of quantum mechanics.

Cool!
Thanks!.
