The spatial orientation of the double slit setup be so that the screen extends in a plane ##x = constant##, while the entire apparatus sits on a ray perpendicular to the screen (of course, the slits sit and extend a bit off this ray).
My questions are about the dynamics in x-direction if only a single electron is involved. Is this more or less classical? That is: Makes it sense to say that the electron is emitted at a specific point in time (or how large is the uncertainty), and can this point in time be determined? The same for the impact of the electron on the screen? Can the flying time from emission from the source to impact on the screen be computed and/or measured and if yes, how does it depend on the diffraction angle?
Thank you in advance!
