Story summary
- Scientists developed a direct laser writing method to create precise trapping potentials for photon Bose-Einstein condensates.
- The technique produces complex three-dimensional profiles on mirror surfaces, enabling box and double-well configurations.
- They observed thermal occupation of modes and a phase transition to a Bose-Einstein condensate as photon numbers increase.
- The work expands avenues for studying quantum phenomena and potential applications in quantum simulation and information processing.
