Electron Rhythms Expose the Heartbeat of Quantum Mechanics


Kapitza-Dirac effect used to show temporal evolution of electron waves. It was one of the biggest surprises in the history of science: In the early days of quantum physics around 100 years ago, scholars discovered that the particles that make up our matter always behave like waves. Just as light ca
