Fascinating behavior of “super photons” in the quantum realm
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
Have you ever wondered what happens when thousands of particles of light merge into a single entity? This phenomenon, known as a “super photon,” has fascinated physicists for years.
Now, researchers have made an intriguing discovery that broadens our understanding of this exotic quantum state.
Dr. Julian Schmitt and his colleagues from the Institute of Applied Physics at the University of Bonn have shown that photon Bose-Einstein condensates, also known as quantum gases, obey a fundamental theorem of physics.
