Briefing
  • Entangled photons – New technique developed by research team at Tyndall National Institute enables quantum dot LEDs to produce entangled photons which can be positioned if needed, key to encoding qubits to make future quantum computers
  • Potential of quantum computing – Powerful at solving complex problems and computations than classical computing systems
  • Timeline – Predicted to come to reality within 10-15 years, if challenges can be overcome
