That's just freaky.

Read this Wired article: Harvard Physicist Plays Magician With the Speed of Light.


... recently she shot a pulse into one [Bose-Einstein condensate] and stopped it — turning the BEC into a hologram, a sort of matter version of the pulse. Then she transferred that matter waveform into an entirely different BEC nearby — which emitted the original light pulse.


Awesome... and freaky :)
