Researchers at Tampere University and their collaborators from Germany and India have experimentally confirmed that angular momentum is conserved when ...

PhoSim simulates the atmosphere, including air turbulence, as well as distortions from the shape of the telescope’s mirrors and the electrical properties of the sensors. The photons are propagated ...

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

Classical physics predicts that light beams pass through each other undisturbed. But quantum mechanics holds that even what ...

If initially the researchers were mainly focused on how the 3D photonic crystal cavity served to increase light-matter coupling, the realization that the setup could be used to induce matter-mediated ...

A groundbreaking study from the University of Birmingham has revealed the shape of a photon and its interaction with quantum emitters.

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 ...

It's "something that hasn't been seen before in physics." Everything Is Illuminated. Lighten up, people: a fascinating new paper has dropped that describes the shape of a single photon, the ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, UK, have developed an intriguing computer model to understand how light and matter interact. As tasks go, it is exceptionally hard, but the team was ...

New theory reveals the shape of a single photon Date: November 19, 2024 Source: University of Birmingham Summary: A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has ...
