The subtlest experiment in quantum mechanics is also one of the simplest: send a stream of particles through two openings in a barrier, and you’ll produce an interference pattern because the particles ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator. MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering ...

About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

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 ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Ever hear of the double slit experiment? It’s one of the most bizarre experiments in ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

(Nanowerk News) The investigation and exploitation of light-matter-interaction in optical resonators is one of the central research topics in the Quantum Dynamics Division of Professor Gerhard Rempe, ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...
