One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
