A groundbreaking experiment demonstrates yet again that light exists both as a wave and a particle in the quantum world—but ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

MIT researchers used ultracold atoms to isolate the quantum trade-off between wave interference and particle path detection.

The concept of light has fascinated scientists for centuries. A recent MIT experiment has reignited the debate about its dual nature. The MIT team revisited a classic experiment with ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

Einstein wasn’t satisfied. At a 1927 conference, he suggested a way to catch light in both modes. If you could detect the ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles ...

Unfortunately for Einstein, all work done subsequently – including experiments that used springs – does point to the ...

Like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, scientists wonder: does reality exist on its own . . . or just when you observe the world?

For a chosen electron and positron velocity of 100 meters/second, for example, the de Broglie wavelength is 7.28 microns.

In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by accepting De ...
