View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from the Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth in successive orders of magnitude until you reach a tall oak tree just outside the buildings of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida. After that, begin to move from the actual size of a leaf into a microscopic world that reveals leaf cell walls, the cell nucleus, chromatin, DNA and finally, into the subatomic universe of electrons and protons.

Controlling the movement of light particles - so-called photons - to store and process data could lead to the development of quantum computers.

In a 2001 experiment, light pulses were briefly stored when particles of light were taken up by atoms in a gas.

The Harvard experiment tops that achievement by holding light and its energy at a standstill.

Using quantum computers, we could open many doorways, especially in artificial intelligence. Or maybe it would open the door for whatever consciousness that has been attracting the development of computer-tech for it to manifest itself... or it could be one and the same. We are using it using us.
