Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

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

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

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

An international collaboration of researchers, led by Philip Walther at University of Vienna, have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, with the successful demonstration of ...
