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 ...

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 ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Quantum interference (QI), which relies on the wave-particle duality of microscopic particles, significantly affects the dynamics of energy transfer and chemical reactions induced by molecular ...

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 ...
