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

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

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

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 ...

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 ...
