Physicists using the SOLEIL synchrotron in France are the closest yet to realizing a thought experiment first proposed in 1927 by Albert Einstein. A variation on the much-loved double-slit experiment, ...

Experimental double-slit diffraction pattern showing full spatial coherence of an isolated harmonic at 13 nm. The vertical spatial modulations are due to the very narrow linewidth that generates ...

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 ...
