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

Two landmark quantum experiments have sharpened one of the oldest arguments in modern physics, and the verdict is not kind to ...

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

You are watching a long-standing assumption in physics and engineering quietly fall apart. Researchers at Northwestern ...

A persistent group of scientists at the University of Warsaw have accomplished the impossible by creating a hologram of a solitary particle of light, reports Business Insider.

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

"When an experiment turns out very different from what is expected, scientists start questioning previous assumptions and look for new explanations," says Kues. They jointly developed their new theory ...

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

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

Amid some scepticism, many say the machines can now achieve results beyond the capability of traditional computers ...
