mike89 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 i was just wondering if is it possible to emit a single photon of light, and if so how would this be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qfwfq Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Put a single atom into an excited state and wait for the transition to occur. With research into the foundations of quantum physics, a lot of attention has been put into having exact control over single emission, there are complicated ways that allow it to be done.
