Abstract

In which-way double-slit experiments with perfect detectors, it is assumed that having a second detector at the slits is redundant, as it will not change the interference pattern. We however show that if higher-order or non-classical paths are accounted for, the presence of the second detector will have an effect on the interference pattern. Accounting for these non-classical paths also means that the Sorkin parameter in triple-slit experiments is only an approximate measure of Born rule violation. Using the difference between single and double which-way detectors, we give an alternative parameter which is an exact measure of Born rule violation.
