"Ann Arbor (MI) - University of Michigan scientists have discovered a
breakthrough way to utilize light in cryptography. The new technique
can crack even complex codes in a matter of seconds. Scientists believe
this technique offers much advancement over current solutions and could
serve to foil national and personal security threats if employed."...

I'll let those who know more physics comment in detail; from reading
the article, it appears to lead to a way to construct quantum computers.
