But with monochromatic light, not only did the interference pattern emerge, but it was directly related in an easily calculable way to the wavelength of the light chosen.

When you passed light through a double slit, it behaved just the same way that water waves do, producing that familiar interference pattern.

The double-slit experiment, originally designed by Thomas Young in 1801, shows that light can form interference patterns, typical of waves. However, when scientists try to determine which slit the ...

Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

Aside from being intriguing for the fundamental physics of photon interference, this anomalous bunching phenomenon should have implications for quantum photonic technologies, which have shown fast ...

But instead, the light produces alternating bright and dark stripes on the screen, in an interference pattern similar to what happens when two ripples in a pond meet.

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.

The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.

Researchers in Germany have unveiled the Metafiber, a breakthrough device that allows ultra-precise, rapid, and compact ...

Even weirder, when one tries to measure which slit the light is traveling through, the light suddenly behaves as particles and the interference pattern disappears.
