You are right, quantum field theory is perfectly capable of explaining both phenomena (but not in terms of particles but rather in terms of descrete field modes). The idea that it is connected to the uncertainty principle is even older. Reading this article made my kind of angry, as it implies that wave-particle duality was not understood until now. Like here: > "has proved that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered distinct are different manifestations of the same thing" I frequently encounter this mysterious yet-to-be-understood duality in esoteric discussions (with all kinds of wrong conclusions of course). I think that ultimatly, whenever we teach someone about the paradox behavior of particles/waves, the very next sentence should be "but this is perfectly understood and not paradox at all". While we are at it, instead of saying > "this is what happens until you sneak a look at which slit a particle goes through" we should say, "this is what happens unless you bombard the particle with photons, which changes everything, of course".
