The double-slit experiment is the best demonstration of quantum weirdness, in which electrons simultaneously act like particles and waves and seemingly violate basic laws of physics. Now we’re trying ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

In a modern version of the famed double-slit experiment, physicists demonstrated that light cannot behave as both wave and particle simultaneously, overturning a key premise Einstein held. The ...

In quantum world, particles like photons can behave like particles (localized points) or waves (spreading out, showing interference patterns). The classic double-slit experiment is a good ...
