The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.

Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...

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 ...

For the first time, wave-particle duality has been observed in a biomolecule. The team of physicists at the University of Vienna in Austria have also observed wave-like behaviour in the most massive ...

The twenty-first century has undoubtedly been the era of quantum science. Quantum mechanics was born in the early twentieth century and has been used to develop unprecedented technologies which ...

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don’t see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...
