When you ask what a photon would "see," you are assuming that it's possible for something to interact with a photon and for the photon to experience that interaction somehow.

Birmingham researchers reveal shape of single photon 21 Nov 2024 A new theory, explaining how light and matter interact at the quantum level, has enabled researchers to define the light particle’s ...

A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon.

A curious observer’s guide to quantum mechanics, pt. 4: Looking at the stars How do photons travel across light years? (Their quantum waviness enables modern telescopes.) ...

A new theory that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon.

Colliding photons were spotted making matter. But are the photons ‘real’? In a demonstration of Einstein’s E=mc 2, collisions of light yielded electrons and positrons ...

Photons collide in the void: Quantum simulation creates light out of nothing Date: June 8, 2025 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Physicists have managed to simulate a strange quantum ...

Since photons are massless, they travel at c, which is called the speed of light because the photon was the first known example of a massless particle.
