The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

Good on you (no, for real), but you don't have to spend a lot. More often than not, an older edition of a text will be perfectly serviceable, so you might pay $40 on a book that in its latest edition ...

“Einstein and Bohr would have never thought that this is possible, to perform such an experiment with single atoms and single photons,” said Wolfgang Ketterle, head of the MIT group whose new ...

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 ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

I must admit...the discovery of such an interesting field makes me regret, even more, my complete hatred of mathematics during my middle, high-school and college years. Pretty sure it would help me ...
