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

It was not until 100 years later, in 1801, that the British scientist Thomas Young was able to clearly prove the wave nature of light with his first double-slit experiment, which settled the question ...

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 ...

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 ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

(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 ...

Scully and Drühl's thought experiment is not as easy to realize as it is to draw. Even separating the γ and Φ photons is difficult to accomplish, and keeping exactly two atoms stationary in a slit for ...
