Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

Scientists have, for the first time, experimentally proven that angular momentum is conserved even when a single photon splits into two, pushing quantum physics to its most fundamental limits. Using ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

Using two optical frequency combs and a photon counter, the experiments open up exciting prospects for conducting dual-comb spectroscopy in low-light conditions and they pave the way for novel ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...
