Scientists found a way to generate quantum entanglement using sunlight, not lasers

SMRTR summary

Researchers from the University of Ottawa and the Max Planck Institute successfully used concentrated sunlight, rather than lasers, to generate entangled photon pairs, a key component in quantum computing and communications. The photon pairs achieved 94% fidelity with a perfectly entangled state. While lasers remain more precise, this proof-of-concept opens the door to solar-powered quantum systems for satellites and remote locations.
