Abstract THE writer has found the following simple arrangement well adapted for the study of the visibility of fringes arising from a double slit and a “source” slit of variable width.

The peaks are the fringes generated by interference between light at different frequencies. And just as the fringes in a conventional double-slit experiment become more spread out in space when the ...

The quantum researchers in Garching adjust the distance between atoms from one experiment to the next, thus setting up various interference conditions. The atoms bask in a flood of light – with ...

The double-slit experiment is of fundamental importance in physics. More than 200 years ago, Thomas Young diffracted light at two adjacent slits, thus generating interference patterns (images ...

Double slit interference. Photons arrive everywhere on the screen, but in the bright/dark regions in a bright/dark quantum state, respectively, that can/cannot excite the atom which is used to ...

Young’s original double-slit experiments were in fact the first to demonstrate the phenomenon of interference. When he shone light through two narrow slits and observed the pattern created on a ...

Scientists observe unusual interference phenomena by scattering laser light from two atoms trapped inside an optical resonator.
