BBC News: 18 January, 2001, Light stopped in its tracks Citat: "... And, astonishingly, if the coupling laser is turned off while the probe pulse is inside the gas cloud, the probe pulse stops dead in its tracks. If the coupling beam is then turned back on, the probe pulse emerges intact, just as if it had been waiting to resume its journey. The biggest impact of this work could be in the burgeoning field of quantum computing and quantum communication...."
February 8, 2007 In Tiny Supercooled Clouds, Physicists Exchange Light And Matter Citat: "..."We demonstrate that we can stop a light pulse in a supercooled sodium cloud, store the data contained within it, and totally extinguish it, only to reincarnate the pulse in another cloud two-tenths of a millimeter away," says Lene Vestergaard Hau, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics and of Applied Physics in Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences..."
