Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

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 ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
