Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don’t see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

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

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

Artist's impression, inspired by the work of the artist Maurits Cornelis Escher, of the continuous morphing between particle- and wave-like behavior of light achieved in the Bristol experiment. This ...

According to the studies of quantum mechanics, light can act simultaneously as a particle and a wave. However, scientists have never been able to capture light in both of its forms at the same time— ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The quantum circuit used to test wave-particle duality in the Bristol experiment. Single photons are sent into the chip using optical fibers, and are detected at the output using extremely sensitive ...
