Three's company: interference patterns for one to four slits (expand for full image) A group of physicists in Austria has directed a beam of large molecules at a series of extremely narrow slits to ...

Classical Physics (Physics established mostly by Newton), has one property that we may think that is universal, which is, certainty. For example, by using the mathematics of Newton, we can precisely ...

Today (April 14) marks 2025's World Quantum Day, an international celebration held to promote public understanding of quantum science. The date, 4/14, was chosen because 4.14 represents the first ...

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 ...

The world of quantum mechanics, where particles can be in two places at once or entangled with each other across vast distances, sounds spooky to us living in the macroscopic world of classical ...

The validity of the superposition principle and of Born’s rule are well-accepted tenants of quantum mechanics. Surprisingly, it has been predicted that the intensity pattern formed in a three-slit ...

Quantum superposition is a phenomenon in which a tiny particle can be in two states at the same time — but only if it is not being directly observed. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
