In a paper published in Nature Photonics, the research team from the Center for Quantum Information and Communication – Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles of Université libre de Bruxelles, has found an ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a stringent test of quantum mechanics. Matter wave in the spotlight: The image ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

In principle, their approach could also be scaled up, which could ultimately enable interference experiments with massive objects. "If we repeat the process with multiple pulses, the delocalization ...

There is a glaring gap in our knowledge of the physical world: none of our well-established theories describe gravity’s quantum nature. Yet physicists expect that this quantum nature is essential for ...

A thought experiment that was at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally been made real. Its findings elucidate one of the core mysteries ...
