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

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought ...

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 ...

The classic double-slit experiment of quantum physics involves shining light through two narrow gaps to show that it can behave as a wave – now it seems the slits can be entirely replaced by a single ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two centuries, the double-slit experiment has been providing a direct visual ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary experiments—with unprecedented precision. At MIT, scientists cooled thousands of atoms to ...

Back in the 1920s, quantum mechanics, which is the theory that underpins everything from how atoms behave to how quantum computers work, was well on the way to gaining mainstream acceptance. But one ...
