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

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

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 ...

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

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

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

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 ...
