Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

"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 ...

Scientists in China have performed an experiment first proposed by Albert Einstein almost a century ago when he sought to ...

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

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

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 ...
