  "It's not an in-apt analogy to compare this to light sabers," Lukin added. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130925132323.htm http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/09/130925132323.ht... It's however rather sad scientist has to make such statements to get attention. As this research actually has really awesome applications: "Particular applications of this technique include all-optical switching, deterministic photonic quantum logic and the generation of strongly correlated states of light9." http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature12512.html http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/natu...
