Counter-intuitive pictures of waves are predicted both in the classical and quantum worlds. In contrast to the wellknown circular-symmetric transverse mode, diffraction limit behavior, and presumably superfluid order parameter,
the existences of light are demonstrated with crescent waves [1], chaotic optical cavities [2], patterns [3], quantum
entangled solitons [4] and Mott-insulator quantum phase [5]. Possible applications to study the concepts and
methods in the condensed matter physics and quantum information processing based on these exotic light would
also be addressed.
