Spooky Photons May Beat Diffraction
PASADENA, Calif. -- PASADENA, Calif. -- Light is fundamentally a quantum mechanical entity, but most of today’s photonics technology does not depend upon this quantum nature and, in fact, ignores it altogether. Classical or semiclassical approaches to modeling the behavior of light are sufficient to understand the behavior of most photonic devices. Researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Wales in Bangor, UK, however, have demonstrated...
