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

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

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

One of the most important experiments of quantum physics gets a makeover: When neutrons are fired at a crystal, they can be made to travel along two paths at the same time. Until now, this was only ...

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 ...

Turin, July 18th 2022 – Particles can move as waves along different paths at the same time – this is one of the most important findings of quantum physics. A particularly impressive example is the ...
