The rich history of research involving photons is celebrated in a supplement to this month's Nature Physics. This is the tenth in the series of Milestones supplements, preceded by others on such ...

A 'single-photon server', producing a steady stream of single-photon pulses for up to half a minute, has been created by confining, cooling and controlling a neutral atom inside a tiny optical cavity.

The experiment was designed to study how long photons spend exciting atoms — a measurement that, in classical physics ... but ...
