Explore the intriguing concepts of superposition and wave/particle duality in quantum physics. Discover what quantum ...

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Since the early days of quantum mechanics, scientists have been trying to understand the many strange implications of the theory: superpositions, wave-particle duality, and the ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

The source of a photon affects how much it will exhibit particle-like or wave-like behaviour. One of the most intriguing aspects of quantum physics is that quantum entities such as electrons and ...

This is an artist's depiction of what a group of atoms looks like when they merge to a wave-like state. This occurs under ultra-cooling that drops atoms' temperature to near absolute zero, the coldest ...
