Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

A new laser based on a swirling vortex of light has been created by physicists in the US. The “topological-defect laser” could be a useful addition to lab-on-a-chip devices, where it could manipulate ...
