12:29 PM | The Chameleon of Quantum Culture: Wave-Particle Duality

Recently, it was reported that an experiment was done to prove that light(or photons) can act as both a wave and a particle. One central theme to quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality. This is part of the culture of quantum mechanics. Wave -particle duality is like calling something two different names but it still is [...]
