The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Quantum mechanics is one of the most ...

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 ...

A new proposal would use quantum hard drives to combine the light of multiple telescopes, letting astronomers create incredibly high-resolution optical images. Imagine being able to see the surface of ...

90 years ago Louis de Broglie, a young French historian turned physicist, first suggested that the bits that made up atoms were particles and waves at the same time. Soon after de Broglie, the idea ...

I think what I read was saying that in quantum mechanics, when more than two possibilities are present, the other possibilities are ignored by the particles. And that in terms of the experiment, when ...
