Yuan and Feng [Eur. Phys. J. Plus 138:70, 2023] recently proposed a modification of the nested Mach-Zehnder interferometer experiment performed by Danan et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111:240402, 2013] and argued that photons give "contradictory"…

De Broglie's original idea that a photon is composed of a neutrino-antineutrino pair bound by some interaction was severely modified by Jordan. Although Jordan addressed an important problem (photon statistics) that de Broglie had not…
