Recreating the double-slit experiment that proved the wave nature of light in time, instead of space
Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...
The double-slit experiment is perhaps the most iconic demonstration in quantum mechanics: showing how a single particle’s ...

A falling quantum object just passed a century-old test of Einstein’s gravity
Physicists split an atomic wave between free fall and a stationary path, revealing a quantum phase predicted nearly a century ...
The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...
Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.
Tim Kovachy is in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and at the Center for Fundamental Physics, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. Quantum mechanics predicts that single ...
