Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...
Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...
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 ...
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 ...
The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...
About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...
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 ...
