According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravitational waves warp spacetime. In the process, they could imprint ...

Every photon is characterized by wavelength (the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave), by frequency (the number of wave cycles that pass by in a given period ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers at Imperial College London's Department of Physics have uncovered a surprising ...

Wave-particle duality and entanglement are cornerstone concepts in quantum physics, yet their exact relationship has long remained a mystery. Researchers from China and Singapore have forged a ...

They discovered that a photon, which interferes with itself due to its behavior as an electromagnetic wave, is also able to form interference patterns together with other light particles.

Subsequent measurements of the light leaving the glass bead then provide information about the sound wave. Using single-photon detectors, the researchers were able to determine whether one or no ...

If one were to think of this pulse as discrete quanta of photon particles, it’d seem to break causality, but as a wave function within quantum physics this is perfectly acceptable. Observations ...

Central to these systems are photon detectors, which detect and measure photons. One notable type is the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). SNSPDs utilize ultra-thin ...
