Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...

A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

Classically, light can be thought of in two ways: either as a particle or a wave. But what is it really? Well, the ‘observer effect’ makes that question kind of difficult to answer. So before we get ...

— -- Still wondering what all the "God particle" hoopla was all about? Well, try this out. The subatomic particle is better known to scientists as the Higgs boson. And after decades of searches, ...

An illustration conveying the idea of a space-based quantum internet, which would seem, like the hypothetical particle of a tachyon, to outpace light. An illustration ...

Light behaves both as a particle and as a wave. Since the days of Einstein, scientists have been trying to directly observe both of these aspects of light at the same time. Now, scientists have ...

Interactions between tiny particles trapped in light are found to differ, depending on the light's shape, report scientists. Physical phenomena, such as particle behavior in higher order modes not ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein provided an explanation of the photoelectric effect – that various metals emit electrons when light is shined on them – by suggesting that a beam of light is not simply a wave ...
