Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...
A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
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 ...
