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

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

The precise methodology of Richard Feynman's famous double-slit thought-experiment – a cornerstone of quantum mechanics that showed how electrons behave as both a particle and a wave – has been ...

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...

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