Double-slit experiment that proved the wave nature of light explored in time

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-split experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space.

In the classic version of the experiment, light emerging from the physical slits changes its direction, so the interfere…
