“To get high data transfer rates in communicating information, you would love to use optical fibers. The problem is that light is extremely hard to manipulate. So we make a perfect copy of the information carried by the light. We transfer it to matter - the condensate.”
About This Quote
Source Technical article, 2018
He explains that optical fibers are ideal for high‑speed data, but light is hard to control, so information is transferred to a matter condensate.
In simple terms: Optical fibers are fast but difficult; we copy data to matter to solve this.
