A review is made of some quantum effects that have no classical analogs: antibunching and sub-Poisson statistics of photons, violation of the classical Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, and squeezed states of light. Nonclassical effects in the generation of harmonics and collective resonance fluorescence are investigated. Various schemes for generating squeezed states of light are proposed, and conditions for obtaining highly squeezed states are indicated. Possible applications of quantum light are also discussed.
