Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in multiple states at once.

Interference helps keep quantum bits (qubits) stable by reducing outside disruptions. It speeds up calculations by letting ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

Exotic paths: artist's impression of the microwave triple-slot experiment. Courtesy: G Rengaraj et al/New Journal of Physics) The importance of including exotic “non-classical paths” in analyses of ...
