Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is still the star of that show. A new, ultra-clean version of this classic test ...
Recreating the double-slit experiment that proved the wave nature of light in time, instead of space
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 ...
(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 ...
Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...
Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...
Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...
