Perturbations simplify the study of “super photons”

A study gives novel insight into properties which are often difficult to observe

11-Jun-2024 - Thousands of particles of light can merge into a type of “super photon” under suitable conditions. Physicists call such a state a photon Bose-Einstein condensate. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now shown that this exotic quantum state obeys a fundamental theorem of physics. This ...
