"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a surprising new way to explore one of science's greatest challenges: uniting the two fundamental theories that explain how our universe works—Einstein's theory of ...

Modern life runs on light. Fiber-optic cables move data across continents, lasers guide surgeries, and photons sit at the ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

Using a groundbreaking new technique, researchers have unveiled the first detailed image of a photon — a single particle of light — ever taken. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
