A team of physicists has designed quantum algorithms that can model one of the most elusive behaviors in nature: a photon ...

For the last 80 years, the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED), which describes all electromagnetic interactions, has ...

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 ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

In June, X-rays began to shine again at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Photon Source (APS), a facility where intense, directed X-ray light beams are used to inspect everything from ...

It's time for the latest update in confirming things we already knew—and, as always, it's being far more interesting than you might expect. Simply put, scientists have conducted a super-advanced ...

Two-photon microscopy is a type of fluorescence microscopy that, rather than exciting the sample with a single photon, makes use of multiple photons. The advantage over more traditional one-photon ...
