The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

(Nanowerk News) Described as the "most beautiful experiment in physics", Richard Feynman spoke of the double-slit experiment as 'the heart of quantum physics', emphasizing how the diffraction of ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...

Quantum physics tell us that even massive particles can behave like waves, as if they could be in several places at once. This phenomenon is typically proven in the diffraction of a matter wave at a ...
