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

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

In 1920, Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that although light (photons) has a dual nature, behaving as both particle and wave, it’s impossible to observe this duality at the same time. This is ...

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

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

Physicists have now teleported the quantum state of a single photon between distant quantum dots, turning a long theorized building block of the quantum internet into a working device. By reliably ...

Several weeks ago I picked up “The Elegant Universe” because I thought it would have information on The Ultimate Theory. Soon afterwards, I picked up “How to Teach Physics To Your Dog” in order to get ...

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