Description

While we interact with them every day, there’s still a lot we don’t know about photons. Most light sources we deal with emit an enormous number of photons per second. But what if we were able to reduce this down to 1 photon per week? Then what if we start cutting it up into fragments? We take a look at the techniques used to not only produce fractions of photons, but also detect them in the laboratory.
