Sunlight creates quantum entanglement once thought to require lasers

SMRTR summary

Researchers have shown that sunlight, not just lasers, can generate quantum entanglement between photons. Using a specially designed solar concentrator and a tiny crystal, they achieved 94% entanglement quality, potentially enabling energy-efficient quantum communication, sensing, and computing, including secure satellite encryption using freely available sunlight in space.
