"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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 ...

THE writer has found the following simple arrangement well adapted for the study of the visibility of fringes arising from a double slit and a “source” slit of variable width. A double slit, ruled ...

Thomas Young’s double-slit experiment is famous for demonstrating the principle of interference. Andrew Murray explains why it’s now possible to carry out an equivalent experiment using lasers that ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...
