Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

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

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...
