Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

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 ...

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

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 ...
