Editing Double-slit experiment (section)

==== Double-slit experiment on time ====
In 2023, an experiment was reported recreating an interference pattern in time by shining a [[pump laser]] pulse at a screen coated in [[Indium tin oxide|indium tin oxide (ITO)]] which would alter the properties of the electrons within the material due to the [[Kerr effect]], changing it from transparent to reflective for around 200 femtoseconds long where a subsequent probe laser beam hitting the ITO screen would then see this temporary change in optical properties as a slit in time and two of them as a double slit with a phase difference adding up destructively or constructively on each frequency component resulting in an interference pattern.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Bacot |first1=Vincent |last2=Labousse |first2=Matthieu |last3=Eddi |first3=Antonin |last4=Fink |first4=Mathias |last5=Fort |first5=Emmanuel |date=November 2016 |title=Time reversal and holography with spacetime transformations |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys3810 |journal=Nature Physics |language=en |volume=12 |issue=10 |pages=972–977 |doi=10.1038/nphys3810 |arxiv=1510.01277 |bibcode=2016NatPh..12..972B |s2cid=53536274 |issn=1745-2481}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rodríguez-Fortuño |first=Francisco J. |date=2023-04-03 |title=An optical double-slit experiment in time |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-023-02026-2 |journal=Nature Physics |volume=19 |issue=7 |language=en |pages=929–930 |doi=10.1038/s41567-023-02026-2 |bibcode=2023NatPh..19..929R |s2cid=257945438 |issn=1745-2481}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |last=Castelvecchi |first=Davide |date=2023-04-03 |title=Light waves squeezed through 'slits in time' |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00968-4 |journal=Nature |language=en |volume=616 |issue=7956 |page=230 |doi=10.1038/d41586-023-00968-4|pmid=37012471 |bibcode=2023Natur.616..230C |s2cid=257922697 }}</ref> Similar results have been obtained classically on water waves.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
