TL;DR Summary
Physicists Recreate Classic 'Double-Slit' Experiment Using Time Instead of Space
Physics news on Phys.org
I think the go-fast optics in the actual paper is a lot of fun and the result is satisfying. I dont know whether this expands the state of the art for modulating light fastly (fastly being a Trumpism).
The rest of the hype is just silly IMHO.

I suspected as much. Thank you.

is there actually anything new in it?
That's effectively what neutrino oscillation experiments have been doing for decades.

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
