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 ...
Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
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 ...
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 ...
Classical Physics (Physics established mostly by Newton), has one property that we may think that is universal, which is, certainty. For example, by using the mathematics of Newton, we can precisely ...
(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 ...
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 ...
