Abstract

Quantum technologies are advancing very rapidly and have the potential to innovate communication and computing far beyond current possibilities. Among the possible plat- forms suitable to run quantum technology protocols, in the last decades quantum optics has received a lot of attention for the handiness and versatility of optical systems. In addition to studying the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, quantum optical states have been exploited for several applications, such as quantum-state engineering, quantum communication and quantum cryptography protocols, enhanced metrology and sensing, quantum optical integrated circuits, quantum imaging, and quantum biological effects. In this Special Issue, we collect some papers and also a review on some recent research activities that show the potential of quantum optics for the advancement of quantum technologies.
