OK, so I can couple the light at the slits in a Young's-like Experiment
using plasmons excited on a metal screen.

But this says little about the usual Young's Experiment which uses 
(assumes) a non-metallic screen, with no plasmon coupling.

And it says even less about quantum mechanics -- I can still use QM to 
describe either type of experiment.
