A double slit experiment involving microorganisms is proposed. In addition an experiment testing whether the decisions of living organisms are quantum mechanical(in this case microorganisms) is discussed.

Abstract It is argued that two distinct types of complementarity are implied in Bohr's complementarity principle. While in the case of complementary variables it is the quantum mechanical uncertainty relation which is at work, the collapse hypothesis ensures this exclusiveness in the so-called wave-particle complementarity experiments. In particular it is shown that the conventional analysis of the double slit experiment which invokes the uncertainty principle to explain the absence of the simultaneous knowledge of the which-slit information and the interference pattern is incorrect and implies consequences that are quantum mechanically inconsistent.

One of the earliest and most important tenets of quantum mechanics is the wave-particle duality: light behaves sometimes like a wave and at other times as particle and similarly an electron can also behave both like a particle and as a wave. When the formal laws of quantum mechanics are formulated, the central quantity that describes the particles is the wave function. This points to the need for a good understanding of the properties of the waves. This chapter introduces the concepts and most essential applications that are required to follow the discussion of quantum mechanical laws and systems. The basic characteristics of the waves, such as the superposition principle are presented, and the interference and the diffraction phenomena are discussed. The Young’s double slit experiment in analysed and the formation of interference pattern is explicitly shown. The Rayleigh criterion for the microscopic resolution is also derived.

This paper seeks to discuss why information theory is so important. What is information, knowledge is interaction of human mind and information, but there is a difference between information theory and knowledge theory. Look into information and particle theory and see how information must have its roots in particle theory. This leads to the concept of spatial dimensions, information density, complexity, particle density, can there be particle complexity, and re-looking at the double slit experiment and quantum tunneling. Information functions/ relations are discussed.

Heat has often been described as part of the energy transfer process. Information theory says everything is information. If everything is information then what type of information is heat, this question can be settled by the double slit experiment, but we must know what we are looking for.
