"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
