The subtlest experiment in quantum mechanics is also one of the simplest: send a stream of particles through two openings in a barrier, and you’ll produce an interference pattern because the particles ...

Does a massive quantum particle – such as an atom – in a double-slit experiment behave differently depending on when it is observed? John Wheeler’s famous “delayed choice” Gedankenexperiment asked ...

(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 ...

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, ...

MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator The investigation and exploitation of light-matter-interaction in ...

Road less travelled: a photon weaves its way through three slits A flaw in how quantum-interference experiments are interpreted has been quantified for the first time by a team of physicists in India.
