By converting light into matter and then back again, physicists have for the first time stopped a light pulse and then restarted it a small distance away. This "quantum mechanical magic trick" provides unprecedented control over light and could have applications in fiber-optic communication and quantum information processing
In quantum networks, information optically transmitted over the network is converted into matter, processed, and then converted back into light.
This work could provide a missing link in the control of optical information," Hau said. "While the matter is traveling between the two Bose-Einstein condensates, we can trap it, potentially for minutes, and reshape it -- change it -- in whatever way we want. This novel form of quantum control could also have applications in the developing fields of quantum information processing and quantum cryptography."

Imagine True encryption! Hackers will now have to grasp the Math & physics
like someone in this forum said before the amount of information coming in the years to follow will be like drinking from a firehose!
