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

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 ...

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

That's a cool new feature. I think it really helps a lot with the science articles if some of the more advanced terms are defined in ways an average reader can understand. Click to expand... It's been ...

In quantum world, particles like photons can behave like particles (localized points) or waves (spreading out, showing interference patterns). The classic double-slit experiment is a good ...

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 ...
