The film "Introduction to Holography" explains the principles of holography, focusing on how it differs from traditional photography by creating three-dimensional images. It discusses the role of wave ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase ...
At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.
Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.
Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...
An experiment measuring a single atom's recoil confirmed that observing a particle destroys interference, settling the ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
