I, for one , welcome our new AI overlords.
If they are like Red Dwarf’s Holly, ok.
“...they had fabricated the entire setup on a single photonic chip and performed the experiment. The researchers collected data for more than 16 hours: a feat made possible because of the photonic chip’s incredible optical stability, something that would have been impossible to achieve in a larger-scale tabletop experiment.”
THAT is a nugget that makes reading the entire piece worthwhile for those doing “hard” experimentation.
Achieving, and then maintaining, optical stability at the level of microns, and smaller, is a principal bugbear of the design of experimental equipment used in photon science.
