Einstein concluded that the formalism of quantum mechanics is incomplete, as it does not account for the individual properties of each particle (in this case, photon polarization) — these ...

Here's one of the quirky things about quantum mechanics: just because an electron or a photon can be thought of as a particle, doesn't mean they can't still be though of as a wave as well.

Have you ever struggled with the concept of quantum measurement, feeling it’s unnecessarily abstract? You’re not alone. Enter ...
