RE: The Double-Slit experiment

You wrote,

"The strange finding of quantum mechanics is that a quanta does not behave either as a particle or as a wave, but has characteristics of both. A quanta could be a photon of light or an electron, or something else small, either with or without mass."

Actually that's not true. Case in point, quantum dots. When the electrons are confined in 3D space that is smaller than the de Broglie wavelength (I.e., nanoscale) the photons (emitted) can ONLY be waves, not particles.
