Einstein’s double-slit challenge finally meets single-atom precision
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 ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...
Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.
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 ...
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...
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 ...
