It's a transistor switching on single photons. It's not even light. Why not use proper terms instead of marketing mumbo-jumbo? What audience is it adressed to?

I like the idea that a single photon is enough to make a transistor switch currents, but I don't like the idea that people read "quantum light and quantum transistors" instead. You are clearly missing the point. It's hard to form a genuine opinion on ingenuine dumb shit like that in that article.
- iovrthoughtthis 8y agoYour reaction seems a little extreme tbh. In effect someone named a complex concept wrong. Is it not better that they wrote about it at all, then that they used the correct names for everything. There’s some space for empathy here imo.
