(via Sabine Hossenfelder) The double-slit experiment is a famous quantum physics experiment that shows that light exhibits behavior of both a particle and a wave. In a new paper, researchers claim ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether Albert Einstein or Niels Bohr had the better grasp of the quantum world. Now a ...

For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have performed a daring experiment using ...
