Subject: Could freezing light negate Quantum cryptography?
Dave,
This month's IEEE Spectrum article : http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/
aug06/4252
to my very amateur mind raises questions about the viability of
quantum cryptography.
If a photon can be frozen (and I can't say whether their technique
can be extended
to the photon level) can it be measured in its frozen state? That
would make the
difference.
