'Probing Quantum Commutation Rules by Addition and Subtraction of Single Photons to/from a Light Field' by V Parigi, A Zavatta, M Kim, and M Bellini Science 317, 1890 (2007).
This work was highlighted in the Perspectives Section of the same issue:
'Quantum Weirdness in the Lab', R. W. Boyd, K. W. C. Chan, and M. N.
O'Sullivan, Science 317, 1874 (2007).
This is a joint theory-experiment effort to show the noncommutativity of photon annihilation and creation. Adding a single photon to a light field and then subtracting one produces a different result than subtracting first.
