Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

I just want to say that this should have been obvious, but it really helps to explain why you only see point excitations when the photon is a wave. That part was really bothering me. I'm just a ...

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 ...
