The Photonic Lathe: 100,000 Custom-Made Photons ⚡ экспресс
Original: "Scalable Generation of Macroscopic Fock States Exceeding 10,000 Photons"
Production of 'photon bunches' of 100,000 each has been established – a record for controlled light.

Typically, quantum states can only be created with dozens of photons. Now scientists have devised a way to make 'light packs' of 100,000 particles, using a trick with imaginary lenses. The most surprising part: the more photons, the faster they can be assembled. This could lead to new ultra-sensitive sensors and secure quantum computing.
🎯 An incandescent bulb emits 10²⁰ chaotic photons per second; the new method is like a flawless column of soldiers, each one accounted for.
t \propto N^{-1/2}
The protocol execution time is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of photons: the more particles, the faster.
