Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...
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 ...
Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...
Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...
In collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA, and Shandong University, the STAR group of the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) ...
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 ...
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 ...
