MIT researchers have discovered that photovoltaic nanoparticles can emit streams of identical photons, potentially paving the way for new quantum computing technologies and quantum teleportation devices. The device emits a stream of single photons and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers. The researchers used novel materials that have been widely studied as potential new solar photovoltaics and showed that nanoparticles of these materials can emit a stream of single, identical photons.
