A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

Researchers at MIT have conducted what they are calling the most "idealized" double-slit experiment yet, finding further ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

Newton’s fame led his view to dominate physics for about a hundred years. Then, in 1801, British polymath Thomas Young devised the double-slit experiment.

In a breakthrough for antimatter research, the BASE collaboration at CERN has kept an antiproton—the antimatter counterpart ...

Details of the experiment are published today in Nature Physics. The original double-slit setup involved directing light at an opaque screen with two thin parallel slits in it.

The double-slit experiment dates to the 1800s. When light is shined through two adjacent narrow slits and onto a screen, it forms a pattern of stripes.

MIT’s quantum experiment validates Bohr’s theory and disproves Einstein’s local realism using ultracold atoms and single ...
