Awesome oddness of quantum physics

Researchers have stored an entire image on a single photon (for a very short while).

    Hi Doug!

    How are you doing? Long time no speak. Interesting article you mentioned.

    Apparently, the image isn’t stored on a single photon, but a pulse of light…

    Next time I’m up in Scotts Valley, we’ll have to get together for lunch…

    Check out this delayed reaction…

    Thanks for the correction, but quantum stuff is so weird. Less than one photon on average. Uh huh.

    How often do you get to Scotts Valley and why?
