fotonske molekule

A je že kdo kaj slišal o tem? Izgleda, da se lahko tudi dva fotona spravita skupaj in tvorita molekulo, pod posebnimi pogoji seveda. Hkrati dobita maso. Torej gre za en korak več od laserja.

"Most of the properties of light we know about originate from the fact that photons are massless, and that they do not interact with each other," Lukin said. "What we have done is create a special type of medium in which photons interact with each other so strongly that they begin to act as though they have mass, and they bind together to form molecules. This type of photonic bound state has been discussed theoretically for quite a while, but until now it hadn't been observed.
