Particles can move as waves along different paths at the same time – this is one of the most important findings of quantum physics. A particularly impressive example is the neutron interferometer: ...

RALEIGH – An international group of researchers performed pendellösung interferometry on silicon using a neutron beam, providing both the highest precision measurements with this technique to date, ...

A team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Waterloo’s Institute of Quantum Computing announced that a new advancement in sensor design could ...

At the very smallest scales, our intuitive view of reality no longer applies. It's almost as if physics is fundamentally indecisive, a truth that gets harder to ignore as we zoom in on the particles ...

It is like jumping on and off a carousel: what happens to neutrons changing from a non-rotating frame of reference into a rotating frame of reference -- and back? 30 years ago, scientists predicted ...

Gravity from mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars produces ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) searches for such ...

One of the most important experiments of quantum physics gets a makeover: When neutrons are fired at a crystal, they can be made to travel along two paths at the same time. Until now, this was only ...
