Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting superposition.
Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is still the star of that show. A new, ultra-clean version of this classic test ...
(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 ...
Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...
Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...
