Quantum researchers able to split one photon into three

Amazing stuff!

"The occurrence, the first of its kind, used the spontaneous parametric down-conversion method (SPDC) in quantum optics and created what quantum optics researchers call a non-Gaussian state of light. A non-Gaussian state of light is considered a critical ingredient to gain a quantum advantage. “The two-photon version has been a workhorse for quantum research for over 30 years,”"

Quantum researchers able to split one photon into three | Waterloo News | University of Waterloo: Researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo report the first occurrence of directly splitting one photon into three.
