Abstract
It is well known that the concept of a trajectory of a quantum particle is itself nonsense in the so-called “Copenhagen” interpretation. However, if the interpretation proposed by Ishikawa [International Journal of Theoretical Physics,30(4), 401 (1991)] can be accepted in quantum mechanics, the trajectory of a quantum particle is significant (though it includes errors). In this paper we numerically analyze discrete trajectories of a quantum particle in a two-slit experiment under this new interpretation.
