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

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

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

MIT’s quantum experiment validates Bohr’s theory and disproves Einstein’s local realism using ultracold atoms and single ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you ...

Unfortunately for Einstein, all work done subsequently – including experiments that used springs – does point to the interference pattern disappearing when the photon's path is detected. In the latest ...

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought ...

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

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

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