Is there any experiments that validate the results of particle in a box with infinite or finite potential. Thanks

The "particle in a box" experiment is a thought experiment used in quantum mechanics to illustrate the behavior of a particle confined to a one-dimensional space.
In the experiment, a particle is placed inside a one-dimensional box with impenetrable walls. The particle's position and momentum are measured at different times to observe its behavior.
The experiment confirms the wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics, where the particle exhibits both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on how it is observed.
The experiment is important because it helps us understand the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and how particles behave in confined spaces. It also has practical applications in fields such as nanotechnology and electronics.
The experiment has significant implications for our understanding of the behavior of matter at the subatomic level. It also challenges our classical understanding of particles as solid, tangible objects and highlights the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.
