Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

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 ...

Electrons travelling through two slits and a single slit. (Courtesy: Herman Batelaan/New Journal of Physics) Physicists in the US and Canada say that they have done the best job yet of realizing ...

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 ...

It was not until 100 years later, in 1801, that the British scientist Thomas Young was able to clearly prove the wave nature of light with his first double-slit experiment, which settled the question ...
