Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

Stevens’ team harnesses both the “wave-ness” and “particle-ness” of quantum objects to develop a groundbreaking imaging technique. Over the past century, quantum mechanics has dramatically reshaped ...

The wave-particle duality is one of those essential pillars. Physics courses devote weeks to just introducing it – but there are still important aspects that can be covered in a short article.

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings ...

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.

However, light's double nature, known as wave particle duality, is absolutely fundamental to the existence of the world as we know it. This strange twinned behavior also extends to other quantum ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter.

But now, says Halimeh, quantum computers are slated to be “the major player” in understanding what happens in the hearts of particle colliders. When very energetic ions get smashed together in ...

Recent advances in quantum technologies are rapidly emerging as powerful tools for pushing the boundaries of High Energy Physics (HEP), offering innovative paradigms for simulating quantum field ...

By measuring the coherence in a system, in fact, it becomes possible to calculate a quantum object’s level of wave-ness and particle-ness—not simply as “less than one,” but as an exact value.
