Light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, challenging traditional wave-particle thinking.

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

This mismatch between classical and quantum views has puzzled scientists for a long time. However, a new study attempts to ...

The original double-slit experiment, conducted by Thomas Young ... that can control light in both space and time," Sapienza ...

Interference can arise with one source of waves where the waves travel different distances before meeting. The difference in the distance travelled (the path difference) must be a full number of ...

If the brightness of light in a double slit experiment is increased what happens to the fringe spacing (distance between two consecutive maxima or minima)?
