Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

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 at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

Researchers at MIT have conducted what they are calling the most "idealized" double-slit experiment yet, finding further ...

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

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

“We’re introducing a major technological advantage when it comes to solving the scalability problem,” said graduate student and first author Kerolos M.A. Yousef. “Now we can miniaturize an entire ...

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 commemoration of the 100th anniversary of modern quantum mechanics, a survey asked physicists for their takes on some hot ...

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

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...
