Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...
New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. Reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...
The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...
Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...
A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...
Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by ...
