Quantum photonic technology puts the quantum properties of light into practical use. Information encoded on individual photons not only offers new opportunities to enhance the security of communication but also radically new ways to perform sensing, imaging, computation and metrology. The best example of quantum photonic technology is a commercially available quantum key distribution system that potentially enhances the security of information over a point-to-point fiber optic communication link. It is anticipated that such systems will be extended to communication networks upon deployment of advanced photonic devices capable of generation, detection, transmission and processing of single-photons and entangled multi-photons.

量子光子技术将光的量子特性投入实际应用。编码在单个光子上的信息不仅提供了增强通信安全性的新机会，而且还提供了进行传感、成像、计算和计量的全新方法。量子光子技术的最好例子是商业上可用的量子密钥分发系统，该系统可能增强点对点光纤通信链路上的信息安全性。可以预见，这种系统将被扩展到通信网络的部署先进的光子设备能够生成，检测，传输和处理单光子和纠缠的多光子。
