Phys. Rev. A 77, 014102 (2008) [4 pages]Time of arrival of electrons in the double-slit experimentReceived 11 December 2006; revised 19 November 2007; published 14 January 2008 Using Nelson’s stochastic mechanics, quantum motion of electrons in the double-slit experiment is studied numerically. It is found that not only the distribution of arrival positions but also that of arrival times at the screen forms an interference pattern. It is demonstrated that the presence time and arrival time are well interpreted in terms of stochastic mechanics. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
