Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two centuries, the double-slit experiment has been providing a direct visual ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Laser spectroscopy is a powerful tool for atmospheric gas analysis, yet traditional methods face challenges due to atmospheric turbulence and significant energy loss. While dual-comb spectroscopy ...

A research team led by Prof. XUE Xianghui from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a wind sensing lidar theory based on ...

Almost a century after the legendary debate between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, a team led by Jian-Wei Pan from the University of Science and Technology of China has brought the famous ...

Two-photon absorption and quantum light spectroscopy have emerged as transformative tools in modern optical research. At the heart of these techniques is the simultaneous absorption of two photons to ...
