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 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.
"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of physics.
For more than a century, the double-slit experiment has been the sharpest test of what reality is made of, and of whether ...
Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.
Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...
Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...
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 ...
The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...
