Single-atom Laser Built at Caltech

Posted by Hemos on from the one-atom-long dept.

hweimer writes "A research group at Caltech has successfully constructed a laser consisting of only one caesium atom. The emitted light is very weak but highly ordered, so such a device may be used to control a quantum computer. More on this can be found at PhysicsWeb."

    When Apple ships their own version of it, 5 years after the first one is shipped, then slashdot will report it crediting Jobs as the inventor.

    All slashbots will rejoice in its quantum gayness.
