Gravitational-Wave Search Resumes after Three Years and Lots of Headaches 2023-05-23T04:00:00Z After the photon hits, photosystem II transfers the free electron to the first in a series of proteins inside the thylakoid membrane called the electron transport chain. Concepts of Biology 2013-04-25T00:00:00Z Clusters of entangled photons created this way could potentially serve as resources for photon-based quantum computing. Entangled Light from Multitasking Atoms Could Spark Quantum Breakthroughs 2023-10-04T04:00:00Z So in the experiment, the researchers created individual pairs of entangled photons, which affected each other regardless of their separation, according to the laws that govern the quantum realm. Quantum Light Experiment Proves Photosynthesis Starts with a Single Photon 2023-06-19T04:00:00Z Shortly thereafter, as high-energy photons burrowed out from the dense expanding cloud of stellar debris, the real fireworks would begin. Betelguese’s Brightening Raises Hopes for a Supernova Spectacle 2023-05-15T04:00:00Z To limit noise, the photons must all have the same phase—essentially, they need to all hit the mirror at about the same time. Gravitational-Wave Search Resumes after Three Years and Lots of Headaches 2023-05-23T04:00:00Z As the electron from the electron transport chain arrives at photosystem I, it is re-energized with another photon captured by chlorophyll. Concepts of Biology 2013-04-25T00:00:00Z They looked at the light scattered by an atom and saw that photons—the tiniest particles of light—arrived at the detector one at a time.

Entangled Light from Multitasking Atoms Could Spark Quantum Breakthroughs 2023-10-04T04:00:00Z In the experimental setup, the LH2 complex released light after the energy was absorbed, alerting the scientists that the photon had passed through the system. Quantum Light Experiment Proves Photosynthesis Starts with a Single Photon 2023-06-19T04:00:00Z This means that only electrically neutral particles such as photons can pop out of the vacuum by themselves. How Much Does ‘Nothing’ Weigh? 2023-04-29T04:00:00Z Instead the impinging electrons release “virtual” photons, so called because they scarcely exist at all: these photons are reabsorbed by the quarks almost as fast as they are emitted. Physicists See ‘Strange Matter’ Form inside Atomic Nuclei 2023-04-27T04:00:00Z A photon of light energy travels until it reaches a molecule of chlorophyll. Concepts of Biology 2013-04-25T00:00:00Z Up through the early 1980s physicists generally accepted a naive explanation for this strange effect: the photons arrive as if in a queue because the atom can only scatter one photon at a time. Entangled Light from Multitasking Atoms Could Spark Quantum Breakthroughs 2023-10-04T04:00:00Z So the scientists repeated the process over and over and over—producing more than 17 billion herald photons and detecting a fluorescence from LH2 for about one out of every 10,000 heralds. Quantum Light Experiment Proves Photosynthesis Starts with a Single Photon 2023-06-19T04:00:00Z That's because the metal plates act like mirrors that reflect the photons back and forth.

Quantum Physics Falls Apart without Imaginary Numbers 2023-04-24T04:00:00Z The photon causes an electron in the chlorophyll to become “excited.” Concepts of Biology 2013-04-25T00:00:00Z They theorized that the atom is actually doing many things simultaneously: scattering not only single photons but also, through an entirely different process, photonic pairs, triplets and quadruplets. Entangled Light from Multitasking Atoms Could Spark Quantum Breakthroughs 2023-10-04T04:00:00Z Berkeley, says this is a crucial step in quantum optics, given how finicky individual photons can be. Quantum Light Experiment Proves Photosynthesis Starts with a Single Photon 2023-06-19T04:00:00Z The result is that certain energies are preferred, and others are suppressed as if those photons were never there. How Much Does ‘Nothing’ Weigh? 2023-04-29T04:00:00Z An opponent could argue that although we thought we measured polarization, our apparatus actually probed some other property—say, the photon's orbital angular momentum. Quantum Physics Falls Apart without Imaginary Numbers 2023-04-24T04:00:00Z The replacing of the electron enables chlorophyll to respond to another photon. Concepts of Biology 2013-04-25T00:00:00Z Nevertheless, only one photon at a time arrives at the detector because of quantum interference among these processes.

JWST’s Smashing Success Shifts Focus to Astronomy’s Blind Spots 2023-04-04T04:00:00Z That discrepancy could have signaled that massive new particles lurking in the vacuum alter the mass of the W, which conveys the weak nuclear force just as the photon conveys electromagnetism’s force. News at a glance: A particle’s weighty measurement, Marburg in Africa, and a fossil called “the blob” 2023-03-29T04:00:00Z And it happens not in space but in time such that a probability trough appears for two photons arriving at the same time.
