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 quantum-classical transition.

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

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 ...

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

A new proposal would use quantum hard drives to combine the light of multiple telescopes, letting astronomers create incredibly high-resolution optical images. Imagine being able to see the surface of ...

Quantum interference (QI), which relies on the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles, significantly affects the dynamics of energy transfer and chemical reactions induced by molecular ...

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 ...
