More than two centuries ago, the "double slit" experiment powerfully demonstrated that photons of light can behave either as particles or waves.

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

We’ve all seen recreations of the famous double-slit experiment, which showed that light can behave both as a wave and as a particle. Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen i… ...

Now, MIT physicists have performed the most "idealized" version of the double-slit experiment to date. Their version strips down the experiment to its quantum essentials.

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Double-Slit Experiment Performed With Single Atoms Shows Einstein Was Wrong In the experiment, researchers used individual atoms as the slit. It appears that Einstein was wrong. James Felton ...

Famous double-slit experiment holds up when stripped to its quantum essentials MIT physicists confirm that, like Superman, light has two identities that are impossible to see at once Peer-Reviewed ...
