Quantum Photonics

A cutting-edge technology called quantum photonics uses the ideas of quantum mechanics to control and manipulate individual photons for a variety of purposes. In order to develop quantum technologies, it investigates quantum phenomena including superposition and entanglement. When it comes to quantum computing, where photons are used to process quantum bits, or qubits, for previously unheard-of computer power, quantum photonics holds revolutionary promise. Data security is further improved by it as it permits ultra-secure quantum communication, sometimes referred to as quantum key distribution. In addition to providing high-precision measurements through its contribution to quantum sensors, quantum photonics is opening the door for quantum-enhanced metrology and imaging. This multidisciplinary area connects photonics with quantum physics and holds the potential to significantly advance technology and information processing.
