Don't blink! Why quantum dots suffer from 'fluorescence intermittency' and may be trouble for potential quantum Internet |
May 26, 2014
Researchers have found that a particular species of quantum dots that weren't commonly thought to blink, do. So what? Well, although the blinks are very short -- nanoseconds to milliseconds -- even brief fluctuations like these could signal trouble for using quantum dots in a quantum computer or between nodes of a future quantum Internet.
