"directing laser at atom triggering consistent single-file line of photons hampered by: creates stray light acting like electrical interference/ >1 photon might be emitted at a time compromising data fidelity... tuning laser beam angle/ shape causes the 2 problems to cancel each other out... single-file line harder to eavesdrop on than jumbled group of photons/ orderly streams easier to control/ integrate into complex circuitry for scalability... optical quantum computing, secure communications"
