The phenomenon of forming an interference pattern by using light that passed through a double slit is a basic item learnt in a high school physics course. It is a good example that light possesses a ...

slit_width = 0.5 # Width of the slits (arbitrary units) electron_momentum = 1.0 # Momentum of the electron (arbitrary units) state_A = qt.fock(2, 0) # Slit A as a quantum state (position 0) state_B = ...

An international group of physicists has found a way of measuring both the position and the momentum of photons passing through the double-slit experiment, upending the idea that it is impossible to ...

An interactive simulation of the double-slit interference experiment, implemented in C# (Razor Pages). It visualizes how light behaves when passing through narrow slits and produces an interference ...

Double-slit interference experiments using monochromatic hard X-rays with the energy of 25 keV are presented. The experiments were performed at a synchrotron source with a distance of 110 m between ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...

A new proposal would use quantum hard drives to combine the light of multiple telescopes, letting astronomers create incredibly high-resolution optical images. Imagine being able to see the surface of ...
