Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

Summing it All Up: In the end, the double slit experiment discovered that electrons, and all quantum particles, both exist as particles and probability waves.

The double-slit experiment is of fundamental importance in physics. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Young diffracted light at two adjacent slits, thus generating interference patterns (images ...

A double-slit experiment performed with two rubidium atoms precisely held in an optical lattice inside an optical cavity provides a new platform for exploring quantum effects.

One of the most famous experiments in quantum physics, which first showed how particles can bizarrely behave like waves, has now been carried out on the largest molecules ever.

The double-slit experiment demonstrates one of the fundamental tenets of quantum physics: that pointlike particles are also waves.

Disentangling the wave-particle duality in the double-slit experiment Photons act like they go through two paths, even when we know which they took.

Physicists using the SOLEIL synchrotron in France are the closest yet to realizing a thought experiment first proposed in 1927 by Albert Einstein. A variation on the much-loved double-slit experiment, ...
