You can actually see the diffraction pattern in the double slit experiment right now. Instead of using electrons, we will use light, and instead of a double slit, we will use a single slit.

Single ultracold atoms act as slits, stripping away noise and emphasizing the fundamental nature of wave–particle duality ...

An electron is not like a baseball, because when you throw in a bunch of them through a double slit, they interfere and create patterns of fringes.

Or rather, it’s likely that what we’ve seen is the results of the double-slit experiment, that barcode-looking pattern of light and dark stripes, accompanied by some handwaving about classical ...

The double-slit experiment is of fundamental importance in physics. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Young diffracted light at two adjacent slits, thus generating interference patterns (images ...

A review of Anil Ananthaswamy's forthcoming THROUGH TWO DOORS AT ONCE, a book exploring the rich physics of a surprisingly simple experiment: the "double slit." ...

Professor Laurance Doyle has devised a way to test the nature of time by redoing a famous quantum experiment at the scale of the solar system.

The double-slit experiment upturned physics again in 1961 when German physicist Claus Jönsson showed that when electrons passed through the two slits, they, too, produced an interference pattern.

We know now that light behaves as both waves and particles. Back in 1801, Thomas Young’s famous double-slit experiment clearly showed light's wave nature. As light passes through two narrow ...

Quantum physicists discovered that the double-slit interference pattern remains even if photons are sent toward the slits one at a time; dot by dot, they gradually create the same bands of light and ...
