At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

MIT physicists have recreated the most iconic experiment in quantum physics — this time with individual atoms acting as the slits and single photons barely grazing past. Their results have firmly ...

Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...

Quantum interference, in particular, plays a key role. It occurs when different pathways that a molecule can take overlap, resulting in specific patterns of interaction: some pathways amplify each ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...
