WAVE MECHANICS THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS A TRIBUTE TO PROFESSOR LOUIS DE BROGLIE NOBEL LAUREATE ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE WAVE NATURE OF THE ELECTRON EDITED BY WILLIAM C PRICE ...

Surprising oil drop experiments suggest that the quantum world may not be as strange as advertised. For nearly a century, “reality” has been a murky concept. The laws of quantum physics seem to ...

IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...

Stanford physicist Mark Kasevich has adapted the technology in today's airplane navigation systems to work with atoms so cold that they almost stand still. At temperatures scarcely above absolute zero ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...
