A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing quantum-classical transition.

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 ...

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

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to disprove the quantum mechanical principle of complementarity put forth by ...

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

Furthermore, depending on the situation/experiment, one feature becomes more dominant than the other wrt what the predicted and actual result is. Completely ignoring either one is both misleading and ...

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 ...

I must admit...the discovery of such an interesting field makes me regret, even more, my complete hatred of mathematics during my middle, high-school and college years. Pretty sure it would help me ...
