A quantum apple a day keeps the computer virus away
The quantum future of TV may be no further away than your nearest inkjet printer. Researchers have demonstrated the use of inkjet technology in the printing of quantum dots, which are useful in high-resolution displays. Quantum dots are very small semiconducting structures that emit light of a specific color, with the exact color dependent on the size of the dot. Large numbers of dots of different sizes are then combined to create a full-color display, and with these displays come quantum apples and anything else we can imagine. Now if I could only eat that apple.
