Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

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 ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

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

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped for.

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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...
