Recent advances in the fabrication of solid-state nanowires (NWs) and quantum dots (QDs) structures open interesting avenues for photovoltaic and quantum computation applications. For instance, enhanced light to electricity conversion efficiency is expected through the insertion of QDs in the middle part of a multi-junction solar cell structure, or by using a radial P-N junction geometry for NWs-based cells. For quantum cryptography and quantum computation applications, QDs can be used as the active material of non-classical sources of photons as well as spin qubits-based logic gates.

固态纳米线（NW）和量子点（QD）结构制造的最新进展为光伏和量子计算应用开辟了有趣的途径。例如，通过在多结太阳能电池结构的中间部分中插入QD，或者通过对基于NW的电池使用径向P-N结几何形状，预期增强的光电转换效率。对于量子密码学和量子计算应用，量子点可以用作非经典光子源的活性材料以及基于自旋量子位的逻辑门。
