The Double Slit Experiment - MIT's Fresh Test & History To really understand one of the cornerstones of quantum technology, how light travels in particles and waves, one needs to follow the over 200 years of experimentation right up to Massachusetts Institute of Technology's 2025 single atoms test. Fortunately there's a brief way to get up to speed through today's Quantum's Business substack. https://lnkd.in/gzK_cQ96 I'm most interested in the intersection of business and quantum technologies but every once in a while, it's good to go under the covers endeavouring to understand how #quantumphysics actually works.

Great post Brian. As usual, you do a fantastic job describing science so all can understand. It’s profound how the DLE is still so relevant more than 200 years later and remains a great first introduction for those new to quantum.

Appreciate your making the article understandable to those of us without physics degrees. The historical context is helpful!

Evidence of the fourth dimension... same is true for the probability cloud of an atom. Classical physics tells us we know how many electrons are in a shell, but quantum physics says they could be anywhere...
