An experiment that tracks the trajectories of photons has been demonstrated. Ars looks at the history of the double-slit experiment and decides that it's not easy to decide what to conclude from the ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to nearly absolute zero, arranged them in a neat lattice using laser light, and then used those atoms to scatter individual photons of light. The ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...

MIT physicists have recreated the most iconic experiment in quantum physics — this time with individual atoms acting as the slits and single photons barely grazing past. Their results have firmly ...
