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 ...

Processes in the X-ray interferometer: The path of a single photon (pink) passes through two slits simultaneously and spreads out behind them into a characteristic “interference pattern”. This pattern ...

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 ...
