Hard light Holograms or Light sabers, which will come first?

OK, it's not strictly matter as it's still photons, but still very cool (no pun intended).

Similar reseach explained by the BBC's excellent Headsqueeze youtube channel.

The idea of it being used as datastorage seems feasible although we can't really measure quantum coherence all that readily and, as far as I'm aware, it's a one-shot read as Heisenberg applies (i.e. reading the data will change it). Still, y'know, lasers and stuff.
