Aotearoa: Creating VR simulations based on William Duane's model of quantum scattering, and its later integration with quantum theory by Carolyne Van Vliet almost 90 years later.
A fantastic explanation of this experiment was obscured when Niels Bohr's dismissal of the photon played into the hands of those preoccupied with suppressing Einstein's brilliance.

Van Vliet's work yields an accurate model of molecular diffraction by considering the scattering object as a distributed quantum entity interacting with a free particle. Note that in free space, QM probability distributions evolve in a way that is mathematically equivalent to ballistic diffusion.

In 1967 Carolyne Van Vliet showed that Duane's model of quantum scattering of electrons/photons by periodic gratings and crystals could be derived from quantum theory by treating the array of scatterers as a quantum object. The clip shows a VR simulation of Duane's rule.

Carolyne Van Vliet's insight cuts through Everett and Bohr's word salads. Her straightforward development of Duane's model of quantum scattering shows how treating the scattering object as a quantum system could make the narrow set of popular quantum interpretations redundant.

When we try to solve the 'measurement problem' with ad hoc measures like 'wavefunction collapse' or 'many worlds', we miss that the 'problem' may stemfrom assuming we can treat the scattering object as a statistical average of its internal quantum states and interactions.
