Squeezed Light
February 17, 2008 at 3:25 pm | kendall | crazy figure contest, literatureA figure from “Manipulating the Vacuum: Squeezed States of Light (Eur. J. Phys 9 (1988) 257).
While the figure was cute, I was more impressed with how it was directly referenced in the text:
The uncertainties in E and B are non-zero even in the vacuum state (where no photons are present). Squeezed light (see figure 1) has the property of a lower level of uncertainty in either E or B than the vacuum state.

Note the social and ecological insensitivity manifest 20 years ago. Today we have LEDs being waterboarded.
