«In a sense, the device
acts as the photonic equivalent to
electronic transistors, which
switch electric currents in response to other electric currents,» says Dr. Barak Dayan, head of the Weizmann Institute's Quantum Optics group, including Itay Shomroni, Serge Rosenblum, Yulia Lovsky, Orel Bechler and Gabriel Guendleman of the Chemical Physics Department in the Faculty of Chemistry.
Just like all of us, Ford has learned that tiny
electronic switches might look cute, but they
act dumb when you have to use them a lot.
