This game demonstrates that a truly Bosonic excitation can be shuffled among resonators
I am truly starting to worry about myself as the first thing I thought of after reading that sentence was Chris Matthews.
Note to self: cut down on the caffeine.

BM scientists discovered how to move and position individual atoms on a metal surface using a scanning tunneling microscope. The technique was demonstrated in April 1990 at IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., where scientists created the world's first structure: the letters "I-B-M" -- assembled one atom at a time.

UCSB researchers show the first demonstration of the coherent control of a multi-resonator architecture. This topic has been a holy grail among physicists studying photons at the quantum-mechanical level for more than a decade.
Whoa! Now hold on there Nelly. The 'Holy Grail'.
We already have TWO 'Holy Grails' in Physics. Finding the:
- Grand Unification Theory (the Theory of Everything)
and the...
- Higgs Boson (the God Particle)
I ain't buying a third. So don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining
