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

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

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

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

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

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 ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...

Most of us have heard about the double-slit experiment being performed using photons or electrons, but what about atoms and molecules? Prepare to have your mind boggled! Most of us have heard about ...
