With more information needed in the quantum world, scientists have produced a laser dealing with this field and creating a new pathway of the topic. ANU physicists have made a laser that creates polaritons and a quantum whirlpool. These polaritons are a whirlpool of hybrid light matter particles. This could link electronics with photonics. The particles are shot at a circulating flow and are made of both matter and light. The beam of particles is so strong that spiral holes can be formed on a piece of brass and other semiconductors. The quantum fluid involved with the vortices of the laser is called Bose-Einstein condensate. The quantum information from the beam can be seen as carriers. With little information on polaritons, the vortices, as of right now, can be used to construct sensitive detectors of electromagnetic fields. This spiral laser is being added to all over the world and are inspiring other groups to expand on the thought of polaritons.
