Quantum physics holds promise to enhance the performance of certain tasks beyond what is possible with only classical resources. These quantum-enhanced technologies, such as quantum computing, cryptography, and metrology, utilize nonclassical behavior of quantum systems to surpass the performance of their classical analogues. In both the classical and quantum domains, light is central to communications and sensing applications. Here I will discuss recent progress in the preparation of broadband quantum states of light, e.g. heralded single photons and squeezed states, as well as approaches to detecting such nonclassical states using photon-counting and homodyne detection. |
