Photon-photon polaritons in ? ( 2 ) microresonators
in Physical Review Research
| Description | Scientists at the University of Bath in the UK have found a way to bind together two photons of different colours, paving the way for important advancements in quantum-electrodynamics - the field of science that describes how light and matter interact. In time, the team's findings are likely to impact developments in optical and quantum communication, and precision measurements of frequency, time and distances. |
| Exploitation Route | We now have a situation where microresonators-which are millimeter-scale objects-behave like giant atoms. The artificial atoms concept is rapidly gaining ground in the quantum-electrodynamics of microwaves in superconducting circuits, while here we are looking at the similar opportunity in the optical range of frequencies. The small mass of photon-photons could lead to further developments of many important analogies between light and fluids, where other families of quasiparticles have already being used |
