Physicists Store, Retrieve a "Squeezed Vacuum" 106
An anonymous reader sends us to the site of Science Magazine for news that will interest those who have followed experiments to slow and stop light. Research groups in Canada and Japan have succeeded separately in storing a special kind of vacuum — a "squeezed vacuum" — in a puff of gas and then retrieving it a split second later. Such experiments might lead to advances in quantum encryption. At the very least they will help to illuminate the boundary between quantum and classical realms.

Great line from the article:
Hmmm. Hey! Maybe they should ask Frank Sinatra [lyricsandsongs.com]? :)
