摘要
It is shown that photons in a polar crystal with a high nonlinearity can feel an attractive effective interaction by exchange of virtual phonons. A coherent state. is unstable with respect to such an interaction, and a superguiding state is formed through the association of photons in pairs with opposite wave vectors and spins. The photon pairs travel without scattering attenuations. If the photons propagating in a waveguide enter the superguiding state, the waveguide exhibits an ultralow energy loss.
