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

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

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

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

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...

But researchers still disagree widely on how best to describe the physical reality that lies behind the mathematics, as a ...

Nature survey shows that disagreement about the meaning of quantum physics remains strong, even 100 years in. And that’s OK.

Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

MIT physicists perform the most precise double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory over ...

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought ...

MIT scientist built an idealized, atomic-scale version of the famous double slit experiment which showed Albert Einstein was ...
