Quantum Physics
2019-08-28 v1
Abstract
Quantum technologies are the next big revolution in information technologies, computing, communication security, sensing as well as metrology. What do you use to explore all these fascinating applications when you work in Optics? Photons of course. In this review, we discuss the different available single photon source technologies, compare and contrast them in terms of applicability and properties, discuss state of the art and conclude that the future is indeed bright!
