The double slit experiment reveals that observing light changes its behavior, making it act as both a wave and a particle.

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

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

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.

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

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

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.

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, ...
