Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Physicists in China have brought one of Einstein’s thought experiments into reality—but not quite with the outcome he hoped ...

Stevens Institute, Hoboken, reports the universal identity P²+K²=1, uniting polarization with entanglement across setups and ...

Try as they might, scientists can’t truly rid a space or an object of its energy. But what “zero-point energy” really means ...

Long considered a serious technical challenge, superradiance could actually help quantum devices go even further.

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

When scientists repeatedly drove a strongly interacting quantum system with laser “kicks,” they expected it to heat up and ...

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

Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...
