Light‐driven control of the fluorescence from Mn‐doped ZnSe quantum dots is described by S. Hell and co‐workers in their Communication on page 2685 ff. Blue light is used to excite the quantum nanocrystals, while a second longer wavelength modulated beam (red) can be used to selectively gate the fluorescence from the quantum dots. The lower right inset illustrates the energy levels involved in the light‐controlled fluorescence from Mn‐doped quantum dots.
