A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

"With this, we can detect very tiny changes in both position and momentum at once, beyond the limit of any classical sensor," the authors explained.

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for ...
