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

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

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 ...

Light has always been the stage on which quantum mechanics performs its strangest tricks, and the double-slit experiment is ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. The highlight of the Great Escape trip wound up being their wave pool, ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...
