And if physicists set up the experiment
with a
photon detector at each slit, that is indeed what they see:
Photons hurtle randomly through either the first slit or the second, which results in two separate clumps of dots forming on the film.
In other words,
photons behave like particles
with detectors present and like waves without
detectors.
The
detector enables imaging in so - called single
photon counting regime allowing acquiring radiographs
with theoretically unlimited dynamic range (in practice limited just by the number of detected
photons).
In the next
detector layer, a 63,000 - liter volume filled
with liquid argon (at -183 degrees C) and thousands of sensors measures electron and
photon energies.
If you compare a lot of high - energy
photons with a lot of relatively low - energy ones, you should find that on average, after a billion - year race, the high - energy ones reach GLAST's
detector sooner — by about a millisecond.
If the spots of light made by the
photons arriving at the
detector are added together over time, they still form an interference pattern, just as if each
photon goes through both holes and interferes
with its own passage through the experiment.
Consequently, each
photon will follow one path only, so it can not interfere
with itself; half the time that path will lead it to the
detector.
If a sufficient number of these
photons can be measured
with a
detector, a characteristic diffraction pattern is obtained which can be used to derive the pattern of scattered atoms or the crystal structure.
In this scenario, Alice oriented her filter vertically, and the
photon passed through and the
detector behind the filter recorded its arrival
with a click.
A team led by Sae Woo Nam of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colo., and Blas Cabrera of Stanford University has developed superconducting
detectors that can measure
photon numbers efficiently at telecommunication wavelengths
with a negligible error rate, opening the way to secure quantum cryptography over a distance of 100 kilometers.
These
photons were then collected
with a very simple optical setup, and sent to be detected and analyzed using single
photon detectors.
Wires running horizontally through the conductor, together
with the shape of the conductor, provide information that allows the spacecraft electronics to work out where the
photon hit the
detector and at what time.
The
detector consists of a third of a ton of supercooled xenon in a tank festooned
with light sensors, each capable of detecting a single
photon at a time.
The experiment can be run two ways:
with photon detectors right beside each slit that allow physicists to observe the
photons as they pass, or
with detectors removed, which allows the
photons to travel unobserved.
He and his colleagues produced pairs of entangled
photons with a laser, which shoots them at two
detectors, each fitted
with a filter that allows only
photons of a particular polarisation through.
With this novel new
detector, PHENIX will be able to separate direct
photons from sources of background that would otherwise overwhelm the signal.»
That saps some energy from the
photon, which then moves on
with less energy to a
detector.
On December 15, the LHC's two largest particle
detectors, called ATLAS and CMS, both reported an unexpected excess of pairs of
photons with a combined energy of 750 gigaelectronvolts (GeV).
When it returns to the
detector, the altered
photon is no longer strictly entangled
with its pair, but Guha says his team has shown «there is still some remnant memory that remains between the two
photons».
A HC PL IRAPO 40x water immersion objective was used for the imaging and CARS signal was detected
with a non-descanned
photon multiplier tube
detector at the transmitted light side.

The NIST paper was submitted to PRL
with another paper by a team at the University of Vienna in Austria who used a similar high - efficiency single -
photon detector provided by NIST to perform a Bell test that achieved similar results.
We will pursue a hybrid approach, exploiting the strong single - and two -
photon absorption possible in the gas - phase of rubidium atoms, together
with integrated - photonics, to achieve strong interactions between
photons and atoms, and use these interactions to achieve efficient quantum memories, efficient
photon detectors, and reliable entangling gates.
