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

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

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 ...

(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 ...

New research offers an intriguing variation on the famous experiment, which proved light behaves as both a particle and a wave. Reading time 2 minutes A team of physicists has recreated a classic ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

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 ...
