Editing Double-slit experiment (section)

===Relational interpretation===
According to the [[Relational quantum mechanics|relational interpretation of quantum mechanics]], first proposed by [[Carlo Rovelli]],<ref>{{Cite journal|doi = 10.1007/BF02302261|last = Rovelli|first = Carlo|author-link = Carlo Rovelli|title = Relational Quantum Mechanics|journal = International Journal of Theoretical Physics|volume = 35|issue = 8|pages = 1637–1678|year = 1996|arxiv = quant-ph/9609002 |bibcode = 1996IJTP...35.1637R |s2cid = 16325959}}</ref> observations such as those in the double-slit experiment result specifically from the interaction between the [[Observer (quantum physics)|observer]] (measuring device) and the object being observed (physically interacted with), not any absolute property possessed by the object. In the case of an electron, if it is initially "observed" at a particular slit, then the observer–particle (photon–electron) interaction includes information about the electron's position. This partially constrains the particle's eventual location at the screen. If it is "observed" (measured with a photon) not at a particular slit but rather at the screen, then there is no "which path" information as part of the interaction, so the electron's "observed" position on the screen is determined strictly by its probability function. This makes the resulting pattern on the screen the same as if each individual electron had passed through both slits.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}
