The Heisenberg principle can be restated to express that there is no way to build an apparatus that would detect by which slit the electron will pass in the double slit experiment without disturbing the interference pattern?

The question touches upon a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and its implications in the double-slit experiment. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927, states that it is impossible to precisely measure both the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously. This principle arises from the
