Solid light is a theory that says light can behave as a solid. Andrew Greentree, Jared Cole, and Lloyd Hollenberg of the University of Melbourne, and Charles Tahan of the University of Cambridge demonstrated theoretically how to engineer a phase transition in photons, leading them to change their state so that they do interact with each other in a macroscopic, strongly-correlated way. According to them, this technology will help build new kinds of quantum emulators and other quantum information technologies such as massively parallel single photon sources.
