A New Supersolid Born From Light Pushes the Limits of Physics
With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold ...
Scientists Have Turned Light Into a Supersolid—Here's Why That's a Big Deal
"In a quantum theater, where bosonic particles (particles with integer spin) go, everyone can sit in the central seat, forming what is called a Bose–Einstein condensate—a superfluid state in which a ...

Two photons are better than one
Two-photon emission in a solid-state emitter could potentially be a much stronger and more useful effect. How can you be sure that the photons you are measuring are 2PE and not single-photon ...
