In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully captured the precise shape of a single photon, marking a ...

“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 ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

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 ...

Schematic of the threshold tracking and lock-in technology. Deterministic creation of single-photon colour centres. High reproducibility, high brightness, and high durability of single-photon single ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...
