LED: Key To Uncrackable Encryption? 228  Posted by timothy from

carrying this story of new type of LED so precise that it can
emit just one photon of light each time it is switched on. It
has been developed by scientists from Toshiba Research Limited
and the University of Cambridge. It is described in the journal
Science, although I can find no mention of it on their website.
One of the applications of this is supposedly uncrackable
encryption, due to the law of indeterminacy. This application is
described fully in 'The Code Book', by Simon Singh, although the
method was only theoretical at the time the book was first
published."  Single-Photon LED: Key To Uncrackable Encryption?

lights, couldn't it add an eerie glow to an object? Hopefully we
can nanoscale these
