One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...

Physicists using the SOLEIL synchrotron in France are the closest yet to realizing a thought experiment first proposed in 1927 by Albert Einstein. A variation on the much-loved double-slit experiment, ...

Experimental double-slit diffraction pattern showing full spatial coherence of an isolated harmonic at 13 nm. The vertical spatial modulations are due to the very narrow linewidth that generates ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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 ...

The interference pattern of a double-slit experiment. The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel, ...
