In 1920, Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that although light (photons) has a dual nature, behaving as both particle and wave, it’s impossible to observe this duality at the same time. This is ...

Researchers from Delft University of Technology have made a breakthrough that could alter the future of quantum technology. They created a chip-based device that can split phonons—the quantized ...

The theoretical physicist John Wheeler once used the phrase “great smoky dragon” to describe a particle of light going from a source to a photon counter. “The mouth of the dragon is sharp, where it ...

In quantum world, particles like photons can behave like particles (localized points) or waves (spreading out, showing interference patterns). The classic double-slit experiment is a good ...

Device could help link different quantum systems, supporting advances in computing and secure communication. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have created a chip-based device that can split phonons — tiny ...

A quantum particle such as a photon therefore behaves like a wave when passing through a sufficiently narrow double slit and passes through both slits simultaneously. What if you don't want to admit ...

The realization of error-corrected logical qubits and operations between them is the key to performing useful quantum computation. The system of vibrational modes in ions is a good candidate for the ...
