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?

not real.

both 'perspectives' are incorrect.

the path of the photon simply depends on what measurement will take place.

None.

not real in the way he's talking about it
superposition is real if talking about waves, but "slits" can't be "in superposition" and a single photon cannot be "in superposition" with itself

Photons aren't real.
Have u ever seen one? Neither have I. They don't exist.
