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

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

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 ...

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

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

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists didn't accept the results ...

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 ...
