Summary:
Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach:
getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect.
In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined,
quantized stepsrCojust like electrons do in powerful magnetic fields.
Because these steps depend only on naturerCOs fundamental constants,
they could become a new gold standard for ultra-precise measurements.
The discovery also hints at tougher, more reliable quantum photonic technologies.
