Scientists might have solved one of the most challenging problems of quantum communications, showing that diamonds may be used as ultra-bright single photon emitters. Discrete generation of photons is essential for quantum communications. It is remarkable that the described emission mechanism makes it possible to create energy efficient light sources operating at room temperature.
