The dual slit experiment produces different results? I must be thinking of something else - I thought that electrons passing through a dual slit always produce an interference pattern.

Anyone got a link?

There is a long Wikipedia article at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

The most mind boggling aspect of this for me is the single photon version, which is under the "Interference of individual particles" section of the above article. The point is that you get an interference pattern even when only a single photon at a time is sent through the slits!

Yeah this is the point where you stare down into the rabbit hole.
