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

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

It was not until 100 years later, in 1801, that the British scientist Thomas Young was able to clearly prove the wave nature of light with his first double-slit experiment, which settled the question ...

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 ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new subbasement with even weirder stuff. The number one hater of this weirdness was none ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein famously declared in 1927, sparking one of the most enduring ...

Scully and Drühl's thought experiment is not as easy to realize as it is to draw. Even separating the γ and Φ photons is difficult to accomplish, and keeping exactly two atoms stationary in a slit for ...
