    "abstract": "An experiment proposed by Karl Popper to test the standard interpretation of\nquantum mechanics was realized by Kim and Shih. We use a quantum mechanical\ncalculation to analyze Popper\u0027s proposal, and find a surprising result for the\nlocation of the virtual slit. We also analyze Kim and Shih\u0027s experiment, and\ndemonstrate that although it ingeniously overcomes the problem of temporal\nspreading of the wave-packet, it is inconclusive about Popper\u0027s test. We point\nout that another experiment which (unknowingly) implements Popper\u0027s test in a\nconclusive way, has actually been carried out. Its results are in contradiction\nwith Popper\u0027s prediction, and agree with our analysis.",
