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

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

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

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 ...

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 ...
