Experiment confirms Bohr's quantum principle countering Einstein
short by Neeraja Nath / on Thursday, 1 January, 2026
Scientists in China validated Niels Bohr's complementarity principle in quantum mechanics, challenged by Albert Einstein. They conducted real-life recoiling-slit experiment, suggested by Einstein, using a photon and rubidium atom and tuned momentum entanglement. It showed that increasing momentum precision for measurement blurs the interference pattern, confirming Bohr's uncertainty principle.
