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.

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

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. For over 100 years, ...

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.

Researchers have used a 350-year-old theorem to better understand the strange nature of light. The team took a theorem used for describing pendulums and substituted the brightness of light in for what ...

Artist's impression of single photons' behavior when passing through an interferometer having a quantum beam-splitter at its output. In the back of the picture, sinusoidal oscillations are observed, ...

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...
