A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...
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 ...
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 ...
“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 ...
Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
Furthermore, depending on the situation/experiment, one feature becomes more dominant than the other wrt what the predicted and actual result is. Completely ignoring either one is both misleading and ...
