Researchers demonstrate that some forms of quantum behavior can only occur via pairwise interactions, a finding that limits the number of ways in which we can reconcile quantum mechanics with ...
MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...
Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

A new double-slit result revives an Einstein-level light paradox
Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...
The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
