According to Physics World, researchers have discovered that sunlight can naturally generate correlated pairs of photons—a finding that could transform quantum optics experiments. Traditionally, such experiments require specialized, power-hungry equipment. If sunlight itself can produce the quantum states needed, researchers could conduct experiments in remote locations or aboard spacecraft without relying on electrical infrastructure.
