The Strange World of Wave-Particle Duality

Wave-particle duality is one of the most profound and puzzling ideas in modern physics. Experiments have shown that light and matter can behave both as particles and as waves, depending on how they are observed.

From the historic double-slit experiment to the groundbreaking insights of scientists like Albert Einstein and Louis de Broglie, this phenomenon has challenged our deepest assumptions about reality.

The discovery that observation itself can alter quantum behavior remains central to quantum mechanics and the technologies built upon it.
