Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

The simulation visualizes the intensity distribution of light on a distant screen after passing through one or two narrow slits. This is primarily based on Huygens' principle and the principle of ...

The subtlest experiment in quantum mechanics is also one of the simplest: send a stream of particles through two openings in a barrier, and you'll produce an interference pattern because the particles ...

Abstract: In this experiment, pseudonondiffracting Bessel-like intensity distributions were generated by refractive axicons at extremely weak illumination and detected by an electron multiplication ...

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 ...

Abstract: The formation of an obvious interference pattern in the distribution of the probability of the simultaneous hit of two alone photons radiated synchronously from two independent single-photon ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator. MPQ scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering ...

Even younger: illustration of the new double-slit experiment using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on an iridium oxide crystal. An intense beam of high-energy X-ray photons (violet) hits two ...
