Metasurfaces for Quantum Photonics

Optics 2021-05-26 v1 Quantum Physics

Abstract

Rapid progress in the development of metasurfaces allowed to replace bulky optical assemblies with thin nanostructured films, often called metasurfaces, opening a broad range of novel and superior applications to the generation, manipulation, and detection of light in classical optics. Recently, these developments started making a headway in quantum photonics, where novel opportunities arose for the control of nonclassical nature of light, including photon statistics, quantum state superposition, quantum entanglement, and single-photon detection. In this Perspective, we review recent progress in the field of quantum-photonics applications of metasurfaces, focusing on innovative and promising approaches to create, manipulate, and detect nonclassical light.
