"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...

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 ...

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

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

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

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 ...
