Researchers, in a recent Physical Review Letters paper, introduce a new mechanism that may finally allow ultralight dark ...

IXPE detection of polarized X-rays from magnetars and photon mode conversion at QED vacuum resonance. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2023; 120 (17) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216534120 ...

It’s as if the photon travels through both slits simultaneously. It gets weirder: As an episode of PBS’s Space Time shows, just by observing the double slit experiment, the behavior of the ...

Many-Worlds Interpretation Challenged As Photon Seems To Be In Two Places At Once. Story by Dr. Alfredo Carpineti • 1w. N ot everyone is happy with the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

An advanced version of the famous double-slit experiment has directly measured a single photon in two places at once – or at least, that’s the claim made by a team of physicists who say these ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but UK physicists have now calculated their wave function to ...
