"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

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

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

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 ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

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 ...

An experiment that tracks the trajectories of photons has been demonstrated. Ars looks at the history of the double-slit experiment and decides that it's not easy to decide what to conclude from the ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment.” He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed ...
