Because the electrons can pass through either slit, the waves emerging on the other side can interact and recombine in complex ways, producing an interference pattern. When the peak of one wave ...

Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce objects that behave ...

Time dependent interference fringes from the ultrafast Kapitza Dirac Effect. An electron wave packet is exposed to two counterpropagating ultrashort laser pulses. The time span from back to front is ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a traditional clock. Instead of ticking gears or oscillating crystals, they read ...

Discovery of a strong quantum interference effect could spark advances in sensing, computing and next-gen technologies by harnessing wave interactions at the quantum level. (Nanowerk News) Just as ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

FRANKFURT. It was one of the biggest surprises in the history of science: In the early days of quantum physics around 100 years ago, scholars discovered that the particles which make up our matter ...
