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

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

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

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

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

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the ...

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

(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 ...
