Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of physics. However, scientists at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, have ...

Exactly 100 years ago, famed Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger (yes, the cat guy) postulated his eponymous equation that explains how particles in quantum physics behave. A key component of quantum ...

Learn more about the holographic principle and why some theoretical physicists think the universe could be a hologram.

A new type of quantum holography which uses entangled photons to overcome the limitations of conventional holographic approaches could lead to improved medical imaging and speed the advance of quantum ...

Or, alternatively, ask associate professor of physics Matthew Headrick about his research. Headrick works on one of the most cutting-edge theories in theoretical physics — the holographic principle.

At least 6% of world trade, amounting to some $200bn per year, involves counterfeit goods. But this figure would be even higher were it not for the humble hologram. Invented 50 years ago, holograms ...

Physicists have used holography to reliably do to electrons what they can already do to photons – twist the particle wavefronts to create beams with vortices at their centre. The researchers say that ...

A holography class at the Ohio State University combines art and physics to provide a more complete picture of how we understand the world around us. Art and science are often seen as incompatible ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

Researchers have developed a way to produce holograms almost instantly. The deep learning-based method is so efficient, it could run on a smartphone, they say. Despite years of hype, virtual reality ...
