Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...

(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 ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator. MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering ...

Does a massive quantum particle – such as an atom – in a double-slit experiment behave differently depending on when it is observed? John Wheeler’s famous “delayed choice” Gedankenexperiment asked ...

(Nanowerk News) The investigation and exploitation of light-matter-interaction in optical resonators is one of the central research topics in the Quantum Dynamics Division of Professor Gerhard Rempe, ...
