"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
