Bright and dark photon states redefine light’s interference mystery
Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two ...
The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
About time: Romain Tirole from Imperial College London and colleagues have created a temporal version of the famous double-slit experiment (Courtesy: Thomas Angus, Imperial College London) Thomas ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. When we divide up matter into the smallest possible chunks that it's ...
The interference pattern of a double-slit experiment. The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel, ...
Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment is famous for demonstrating the principle of interference. Andrew Murray explains why it’s now possible to carry out an equivalent experiment using lasers that ...
The subtlest experiment in quantum mechanics is also one of the simplest: send a stream of particles through two openings in a barrier, and you’ll produce an interference pattern because the particles ...
Laurance Doyle at the SETI Institute likes to think big. Really big. When the late legendary physicist John Archibald Wheeler suggested there was a way to test a key aspect of quantum physics on a ...
A new proposal would use quantum hard drives to combine the light of multiple telescopes, letting astronomers create incredibly high-resolution optical images. Imagine being able to see the surface of ...
