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

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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

In classical optics, for instance, a brighter light has more energy, and a greater amplitude of its electromagnetic wave.

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