In the silent corridors of nanostructured silicon, light is undergoing a metamorphosis. Traditionally understood as waves or particles, photons are now adopting spatial characteristics that mirror the orbitals of electrons in atoms. This emerging class of “photonic orbitals”—engineered through precise manipulation of three-dimensional photonic crystals—is set to redefine quantum …
