Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

The source of a photon affects how much it will exhibit particle-like or wave-like behaviour. One of the most intriguing aspects of quantum physics is that quantum entities such as electrons and ...

QUANTUM physics – known to practitioners as quantum mechanics – is a subject that physicists learn in a rather peculiar way. We all learn to calculate using its mathematical framework, but that ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...
