An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...
Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
The film explores the dual nature of light, demonstrating its behavior as both a wave and a particle through an experiment involving a double slit. It shows how light creates an interference pattern, ...
(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...
