The double-slit experiment is taught today in most high school physics classes as a simple way to illustrate the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics: that all physical objects, including ...

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 ...

The double-slit experiment was designed to investigate whether light is a wave or a particle. It is one of the most famous and weirdest experiments in physics.

1 Young’s double-slit experiment with single electrons If you fire single particles, such as photons or electrons, through two slits labelled 1 and 2, the wavefunctions ϕ1 and ϕ2 along each path ...

A New, Time-Based Double Slit Experiment New research published in Nature Physics in April 2023 has demonstrated that the double slit experiment also holds true regarding time and not just space.

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.

A single, extremely cold atom could play the role of two slits in the classic double-slit experiment from quantum physics, something that was previously thought to be impossible ...

The interference pattern of a double-slit experiment. The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel ...
