An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

The original paper by Kim et al. on the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser suggests the concept of retrocausality, which stems ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

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 ...

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

In its simplest form the double-slit experiment involves sending waves through two slits in a screen and observing the interference pattern they create on another screen. This pattern is not a simple ...

In 2005, a student working in the fluid physicist Yves Couder’s laboratory in Paris discovered by chance that tiny oil droplets bounced when plopped onto the surface of a vibrating oil bath. Moreover, ...
