"My comparison between quantum and classical light fields literally forced ... quantum picture (with particles) of classical interference (with waves): maxima and minima result from entangled ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at ...

Light does not escape this duality ... which is a consequence of a wave-like interference between their paths. This bunching effect cannot be understood in a classical worldview where we think ...

parallel slits will form an interference pattern on a screen. This is true for all waves, whether they’re light waves, water waves, or sound waves. But light isn’t just a wave—it’s also a ...
