A team of physicists has coaxed a single, photon-like particle into behaving as if it lives in 37 different quantum ...

Calculations intended to feel out the interactions between light and the material that produces it may inadvertently describe the photon's outline, revealing its shape in unprecedented detail. A new ...

A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. A new theory, that explains ...

Understanding the nature of consciousness is one of the hardest problems in science. Some scientists have suggested that quantum mechanics, and in particular quantum entanglement, is the key to ...

A new article explores the string theoretical effects outside the black hole photon sphere. A paper by the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU) Director Ooguri ...

Physicists have spent decades treating mass as something the universe simply hands to particles, a property encoded in ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...
