Lukin says this new bond between photons could also have practical applications for contemporary chipmakers working to convert light into electric signals.
Most mind-blowing of all, he also suggests the breakthrough could one day lead to technologies that allow for the creation of complex 3D structures, like crystals, made out of light.
