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

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.

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

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

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

According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

Duality ellipse The amount of coherence is linked to the amount of waveness and particleness of a quantum system through an duality ellipse relation. The coherence, modulated by the object shape, can ...
