University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision ...

As well as being a beautiful example of the wave–particle duality of quantum mechanics, the technique could provide further insight into the boundaries between quantum and classical physics. The build ...

It discusses the role of wave interference in producing holograms, using sound and light waves as examples. The film demonstrates the use of lasers to capture and reconstruct images through ...

When a stream of single photons travel through a double slit they will build up an interference pattern on a detector behind the slits – an example of single-photon interference. An example of ...

Classical physics theories suggest ... of us then led to a totally new interference picture which makes use of particles instead of fields," said Rempe. "For example, a classical standing-wave ...

We explore double and single slit example problems involving light and sound waves. In this Closer Look segment on Diffraction and Interference, we explore double and single slit example problems ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted ... with uniquely anisotropic properties," says Zhang. "For example, it may soon be possible to tune nanomaterials to conduct ...

In this paper, we demonstrate that interference experiments ... ranging from statistical to high-energy physics. We considered only a particular example of interference between two one-dimensional ...
