Physicists Uncover a Quantum Swarm from a Single Photon

A recent theoretical study has revealed a surprising quantum phenomenon: when a photon is subjected to an extreme splitting process, it does not simply divide into smaller photons. Instead, interactions with quantum vacuum fluctuations can generate a complex swarm of photons, creating a state that spans from zero to an infinite number of particles. The finding provides new insights into the strange behavior of light and the fundamental nature of quantum fields
