Displaying Introduction to Quantum Mechanics - D. Griffiths.pdf.
Quantum mechanics works completely di erently, as can be seen by repeating the double-slit experiment for electrons. What one observes is that electrons still reach the detector in \lumps", but now P 12(x) 6= P 1(x) + P 2(x). Moreover, the observed probability distribution looks suspiciously like the interference

1.2 Quantum Mechanics, what’s up? As a warmup, some quick questions and answers about Quantum Mechanics... Why would I learn Quantum mechanics? Let’s think a bit about the physics you have learned so far. Throughout the past years, you got to know how bodies experience and exert forces, how gases behave, how electro-magnetic forces act and ...
