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

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

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

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
