Light is both a wave and a particle – or so we have thought for about a hundred years. Since the advent of quantum physics, light has been understood to exhibit wave-particle duality. One part of this ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, creating a single particle of light that behaves as if it occupies 37 distinct ...
