Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

Einstein’s double-slit challenge finally meets single-atom precision
Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
In the late 1970s, legendary physicist John Wheeler proposed a radical question: Exactly when does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? And does it really matter?
Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...
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 ...
Ok so observatory, what happens here (in an attempt to understand QM). Double slit experiment. We send a photon from an emitter it's probability wave encompasses the width of the two slits. After it ...
Most of us have heard about the double-slit experiment being performed using photons or electrons, but what about atoms and molecules? Prepare to have your mind boggled! Most of us have heard about ...
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 ...
