A model for calculating the quantum potential for time-varying multi-slit systems

Description

A model is proposed and applied to the single and double slit experiments. The model is designed to take into account a change in the experimental setup. This includes opening and closing the slits in some way, or by introducing some object which can be thought of as having a perturbing effect on the space-time background. The single and double slits could be closed simultaneously or one after the other in such a way as to transform from one arrangement to the other. The model consists in using modified free particle propagators in such a way that the required integrals for calculating the overall wave function can be calculated. It is supposed that these constants reflect the ambient structure as the experimental situation is modified, and might be calculable with regard to a more fundamental theory
