Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...
Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...
Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...
In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...
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.
Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...
