MIT researchers performed an idealized double-slit experiment using single ultracold atoms, providing further evidence that Einstein's idea of detecting a photon's path without destroying interference is incorrect, supporting quantum mechanics predictions.
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.
