Because the electrons can pass through either slit, the waves emerging on the other side can interact and recombine in complex ways, producing an interference pattern. When the peak of one wave ...

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...

Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce objects that behave ...

The double-slit connection In their paper, the authors draw an elegant analogy to the famous double-slit experiment, where particles like electrons produce interference patterns when passed through ...

In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of ...
