Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

The experiment showed that Bohr was definitely correct when he argued for complementarity, and that Einstein had got it wrong. The more atom-rustling that was measured, the weaker the diffraction ...

The concept of light has fascinated scientists for centuries. A recent MIT experiment has reignited the debate about its dual nature. The MIT team revisited a classic experiment with ...

Einstein wasn’t satisfied. At a 1927 conference, he suggested a way to catch light in both modes. If you could detect the ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles ...

The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a highly sensitive camera depicted as a screen. Incoherent light ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

MIT scientist built an idealized, atomic-scale version of the famous double slit experiment which showed Albert Einstein was ...
