MIT scientists performed an idealized double-slit experiment with single atoms and photons, confirming the dual wave-particle nature of light and disproving Einstein's 100-year-old proposal that both properties could be observed simultaneously, thus settling a long-standing debate in quantum physics.
MIT physicists performed the most precise double-slit experiment using ultracold atoms and single photons, confirming Bohr's quantum theory and disproving Einstein's idea that light's wave and particle properties can be observed simultaneously, thus resolving a century-old debate.
MIT physicists performed an idealized double-slit experiment using single atoms and photons, confirming quantum theory predictions that light's wave and particle natures cannot be observed simultaneously, and demonstrating Einstein's incorrect assumptions about photon behavior.
MIT physicists performed an idealized double-slit experiment using single atoms and photons, confirming quantum theory predictions that the more information obtained about a photon's path, the less visible its wave interference pattern, thus disproving Einstein's earlier idea about detecting both particle and wave nature simultaneously.
