Optics: Watch your back
Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis1 & Ortwin Hess1
Abstract
A proposal for transporting photons invisibly between two unconnected points in space seems worthy of a Star Trek plot. But it is in principle wholly realizable, and could open up new vistas — literally.
Imagine walking down a footpath, staring unconcernedly at the clear track in front of you. Suddenly, you stumble over an object.
- Kosmas L. Tsakmakidis and Ortwin Hess are at the Advanced Technology Institute and the Department of Physics, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH, UK.
