"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 ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

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

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 ...

A single atom as a movable slit: Researchers realize Einstein's thought experiment in original form, observing ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...
