Nonclassical Light for Quantum Information Science
Harry J. Kimble · Frontiers in Optics 2008/Laser Science XXIV/Plasmonics and Metamaterials/Optical Fabrication and Testing · 2008
Over the past several decades, the Quantum Optics community has generated a zoology of manifestly quantum or nonclassical states of the electromagnetic field. Beyond a historical significance in physics, nonclassical light is playing a leading role in Quantum Information Science, including for quantum computation, communication, and metrology. My tutorial will provide an overview of nonclassical light, from generation to identification to application.
