Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...
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 ...
A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing quantum-classical transition.
The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle.
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 ...
