Quantum Light Manipulation Achieved in Major Breakthrough.

Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Basel have successfully manipulated and identified small numbers of interacting photons, allowing for the manipulation of quantum light. This work represents an unprecedented landmark development for quantum technologies and has the potential to lead to huge advancements in quantum computing. The ability to identify and manipulate photon-bound states is a vital first step toward harnessing quantum light for practical use, and the next steps include generating states of light useful for "fault-tolerant quantum computing."
