1. Pladsen: Det ligner ved første øjekast en almindelig måne, men efter et par sekunder afslører sorte uregelmæssigheder, at billedet viser noget ganske andet. Faktisk er der tale om lys, som projekteres gennem tusindvis af tynde glasrør, også kaldet optiske fibre, der tilsammen danner en måneform. Manden bag billedet, Jonas S. Neergaard Nielsen fra Hy-Q ved DTU forsker i fotoners evne til at bære data. I modsætning til elektroner kan fotoner transportere information uden modstand med lysets hast. Håbet er, at man i fremtiden kan transportere enorme mængder af data og skabe et lynhurtigt og sikkert kvanteinternet, der eksempelvis kan beskytte personfølsomme oplysninger. (Photo: Jonas S.
