When you look at the Quantum double slit paradox does it seem nonintuitive?

Common sense dictates that since a photon is indivisible, a single photon can only pass through one slit at a time. Therefore, the photon must pass through slit A or B. If one blocks slit B and measures the results of the photon passing through slit A, the result should match commonsense.

Yet, the results do not. Does the Double slit problem create a paradox?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Yes, it does create a paradox due to the dual nature of light. Particle and wave characteristics of Light always facinate me.

Scholinder equation predicts where the wave will be. A paradox because the wave is in two place at once. Will we see a Quantum computer, next?

I think you meant to say "Schrodinger Equation". QC is still in infancy. but I hope I will see it during our life time. I havent done much reading on Quantum Computing to write in my own other than a 30k foot level understanding. I didnt want to copy and paste.
