A Classical Quantum Conundrum – When To Be or Not To Be… a Wave?

November 2, 2014 QuarX

An animation showing the formation of the typical wave-particle duality interference pattern.
Wav-icles?

Ever since French physicist Louis de Broglie first described the wave-particle duality in 1926, scientists have struggled to come to terms with this strange particularity of our natural World when observed at the quantum level.  Waves can be particles, and particles can be waves.  But are entities waves AND particles all at the same time?
