leakage
(or a harmonic) of what they put in?


Somewhere in the paper they state that the photon multiplication rate is
several thousand to one. IOW the pump the material at something like 11 GHz
and see a much larger number of photons at something like 9 GHz. Curiously
it is not a harmonic, per se.

However it is a QM effect and may not scale up - and it requires a
superconductor.
