Holy hidden photon ping.

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.

*yawn* Get back to me when they have quantum dogs playing poker.

But how does this help me in my quest to randomly poison cats hidden in boxes?

So *that’s* why I haven’t been able to find my microwave single photons.

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:

  1. Grand Unification Theory (the Theory of Everything)
    and the...
  2. Higgs Boson (the God Particle)
I ain't buying a third. So don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining
