Photons trapped in a superconducting cavity constitute an ideal system to realize some of the thought experiments imagined by the founding fathers of quantum physics. Physics laureate S . Haroche gives a personal account of the experiments performed with this “photon box” at the Ecole Normale Supérieure **.
