Talk:Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model

The article 'Solid Light' is essentially redundant, at least from a physics point of view. The 'Solid Light' page appears to have been created from a press release connected with the first work on Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard. The term 'Solid Light' is simply a lay term to describe the effect, other authors use 'Crystal Light' or 'Gefrorenes Licht' (Frozen Light in German). In the opinion of the researchers mentioned on the Solid Light page, that article focuses too strongly on one groups work without mentioning the other groups who published simultaneously on the topic. Simply linking the term 'Solid Light' to the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model page is the simplest solution.

As for the more recent additions under the section 'In Science Fiction', I'm not sure of their value to wikipedia but they certainly have no connection to the science discussed by the original authors or others under the title Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model. Whether the 'Solid Light' page continues to exist just for the science fiction references is a decision for more experienced wikipedians.

Maybe we should just keep the page in direct reference to the "hardlight" phenomena in science fiction, since that seems to be rather omnipresent in various genres of sci-fi. At the very least it deserves more than a mention, I think.18-Till-I-Die (talk) 02:29, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
