This could be a method of providing an absolutely stable and controlled communication medium to optimize quantum computing and increase data throughput at warmer temps. Traditional silicon-based substrates are nearing their end of life for bleeding edge architectures.

Not saying it is, just mentioning what use case this may be optimal for.

Polaritons, hybrid particles formed by the coupling of light and matter, are usually described as a quantum fluid of light that one can control through its matter component.

This is the 2023 future stuff I’ve been waiting for.
