Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is still the star of that show. A new, ultra-clean version of this classic test ...
In the late 1970s, legendary physicist John Wheeler proposed a radical question: Exactly when does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? And does it really matter?
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 ...
Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...
Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...
A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...
In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...
Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into ...
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 ...
