Time Is on My Sides: Researchers Show Double-Slit Experiment Also Applies to Time
Insider Brief An Imperial College-led team of researchers were able to create a time-domain version of the double-slit experiment. The team used a beam of light that was twice gated in time — and discovered many more oscillations than predicted, suggesting a rise time that approached an optical cycle. Results could yield practical advances, such […]
