The ‘pliable character’ might be the reason for wave-particle duality of light

Abstract

The delayed-choice experiment is one of the best ways to illustrate the wave-particle duality. The consequences of a quantum delayed-choice experiment have shown that the photon can exhibit dual nature through morphing. There are no hidden variable theories; that can assert the real identities of a photon being a wave and a particle. An open question can emerge, what is the fundamental reason for a photon exposing dual nature. Meanwhile, the recent investigation on photon’s ‘illusive nature’ expounds the apparently unrevealed phenomena like mass posing (zero, real-valued and imaginary rest mass), hidden energy, complex momentum form, and photon possesses this nature for wave-particle duality. The ‘illusive nature’ could interpret why photon does not hold fixed rest mass like another fundamental particles. This article will find out the cause of wave-particle duality from the outcomes of quantum delayed-choice experiments and the ‘illusive nature’ of photons. Furthermore, we will figure out a correlation between dual nature and ‘illusive nature’. Indeed, a photon might manifest dual nature due to its ‘pliable nature’.
