Einstein’s double-slit challenge finally meets single-atom precision
Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

A new double-slit result revives an Einstein-level light paradox
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
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 ...
Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...
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 ...
