Zitat des Tages von Lene Hau:
Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if you're lucky, you get strange clues.
To get high data transfer rates in communicating information, you would love to use optical fibers. The problem is that light is extremely hard to manipulate. So we make a perfect copy of the information carried by the light. We transfer it to matter - the condensate.
