Caption

Illustration of a nuclear frequency comb displaying single photons as visualized on a logarithmic scale from dark to bright colors, with brighter colors indicating instances of time where the stored photons have a higher probability of being retrieved. These instances occur closer together for higher energy spacings and are more spread out in time for lower energy spacings.
