An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...
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 ...
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...
Athought experiment at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally ...
Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...
