MIT Physicists Confirm Light's Dual Nature in Refined Double-Slit Experiment

07:41, 28 July

Edited by: Vera Mo

MIT physicists have conducted a refined version of the double-slit experiment, providing atomic-level validation of light's wave-particle duality. In this experiment, individual atoms acted as slits, and carefully controlled beams of light scattered single photons. The findings confirmed that observing a photon's path disrupts the interference pattern, supporting Niels Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics. This research coincides with the United Nations' declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, aiming to broaden public understanding of quantum science and its applications.
