A photonic molecule is a concept in the field of quantum optics and photonics, where the collective behavior of photons is studied in a way that mimics the properties of traditional molecules. These "molecules" do not consist of atoms in the conventional sense; instead, they are formed by the coupling of photons that are confined in systems such as photonic crystals or optical cavities.
