Some of the most important ways the Nature will surprise us are not really yet written...

But we will know how to describe it because of our knowledge about information.

10bits for each photon...

New research provides encoding technique for transport 10 bits of informatino into a photon.
Encoding information in the position of single photons has no known limits, given infinite resources. Using a heralded single-photon source and a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM), we steer single photons to specific positions in a virtual grid on a large-area spatially resolving photon-counting detector (ICCD).
