Quantum mechanics, developed a century ago, has long challenged conventional views of nature. At its core lies the principle of wave-particle duality, which shows that quantum objects can behave like ...
"Wave-particle duality is the cornerstone of quantum mechanics," says Xiaofeng Qian, the paper's lead author and an Assistant Professor of Physics at Stevens. "Researchers have been working to ...
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.
