However, at the macroscopic level of ordinary objects it has not been possible to maintain the phase correlations needed to demonstrate or disprove the reality of such a superposition of states as opposed to the mixture of states. Without such a quantum “signature”, this paradoxical prediction of quantum theory would seem to have no testable consequences. State vector collapse in that case becomes indistinguishable from a stochastic ensemble description.</p><p>The experiment described here provides a means for testing Schrödingers' paradox. A Michelson interferometer is used to test for the presence of state superposition of a pair of shutters that are placed along the two optical arms of the interferometer and driven by a beta decay source so that either the first shutter is open and the second closed or <em>vice versa</em>.

Elementary particles are hypothesized to be the constructive interference peaks of a wave system extending throughout the universe.

Consequently, the interference peaks are stable entities since any reduction in the constructive interference would raise the energy of the system. The Schrödinger equation is derived from the wave system based on the Lorentz invariance of the classical wave equation subject to the condition that the constructive interference peaks remain in-phase with the wave modes.

In the case of a narrow slit, the ray-optics formalism breaks down and the intensity profile around the center of the Borrmann fan of the second crystal, where focussing occurs, has to be calculated from the Green function which is the wave function in the observation plane for a point-source of the entrance slit, the different points of this slit being considered as incoherent. This Green function, which takes into account the presence of a test object on the beam path between the crystals, is normally a complicated integral expression.

The inequalities derived here from these assumptions are violated in quantum mechanics, which shows once more that quantum correlations cannot be understood in terms of local hidden-variables theories.
