When Louis de Broglie postulated that we need to ‘associate a periodic phenomenon with any isolated portion of matter or energy’, he predicted that these new ideas would ‘solve almost all the problems ...

Principle of quantum superposition permits a photon to interfere with itself. As per the principle of causality, a photon must pass through the double-slit prior to its detection on the screen to ...

First formulated in 1935, the famous thought experiment attempts to explain the weirdness of quantum superposition, but a new study shows that this theoretical feline is really only the beginning of ...

An international collaboration of researchers, led by Philip Walther at University of Vienna, have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum technology, with the successful demonstration of ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated the Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) effect with up to 12 ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a ...

Physicists have developed a spectral-filtering technique that strips away unwanted extra photons from quantum light sources, tackling one of the most persistent obstacles in quantum optics. The method ...
