A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

MIT physicists perform the most precise double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms, confirming Bohr’s quantum theory over ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

For nearly a hundred years, one of the most celebrated minds in science, Albert Einstein, had a lingering quantum thought ...

When a German physicist returned from a health retreat 100 years ago, his ideas sparked a debate about reality, and gave rise ...

A groundbreaking quantum experiment conducted by MIT physicists has turned a major page in the long-standing debate between ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

Unfortunately for Einstein, all work done subsequently – including experiments that used springs – does point to the interference pattern disappearing when the photon's path is detected. In the latest ...

The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...
