At the intersection of the ancient and the emergent, researchers from Ottawa and the Max Planck Institute have shown that sunlight — humanity's oldest energy source — can generate quantum entanglement without the laser systems long considered indispensable. By taking their experiment outdoors and letting the sun do what laboratories have struggled to replicate cheaply, they have suggested that nature was always a participant in the quantum story, waiting to be properly consulted. The discovery arrives as quantum computing strains under its own energy demands, and it quietly asks whether the mo
