Where do the realms of quantum mechanics and classical physics begin to overlap? It's a long-argued question of philosophical interest and practical importance. Now the world's smallest double slit ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

Physicists in Europe and the US have performed a novel version of the double-slit quantum-interference experiment with single electrons. In the classic version of the experiment, electrons pass ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When we divide up matter into the smallest possible chunks that it's ...

Quantum systems are described by wavefunctions, which have an amplitude and a phase: the square of the amplitude describes the probability of finding a particle in a given region of space-time, ...

I want to tell you about one of the most beautiful ideas that I know. It’s a physics experiment, and it's beautiful because in one elegant stroke, it expands our consciousness, forcing us to realize ...

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, ...
