From a photon's perspective, the slits are a superposition. A photon sees only one slit. As the photon passes through the superslit, the photon's position becomes entangled with the superslit. When a eyeball looks through one of the slits, then the photon sees one of two slits: a slit without an eyeball or a slit with an eyeball. The photon has no influence in the state of the slits.

From our perspective, we see two independent slits and a photon that is in superposition. If we attempt to observe which slit the photon passes through, we see a photon as a particle. If we do not observe the slits, we see a photon as a wave. We have a choice in how we observe the the photon's position.


Which perspective is correct?
