Recently a team of physicists from Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been researching the use of photons in a quantum supercomputer. Through their studies, they may have found a way to create real-life lightsabers. They were blasting photons through a cloud of cooled rubidium and in the process they discovered that the photons which do not usually interact with one another, actually clumped together to form a molecule of photons. They did not discover how to actually create lightsabers, but they say it is the first step by understanding the physics of it. Scientists and Star Wars fans alike throughout the world are thrilled about it.
