Quantum technologies relying on photons and optical processes are providing key innovative solutions for secured data transmissions and quantum computation. To this purpose, quantum properties of light, and in particular entanglement (the property of two or more photons to behave as one, even when physically far apart) have been successfully exploited. However, the requirement for bringing quantum technologies "out of the lab" implies the necessary development of entangled light sources.

依赖于光子和光学过程的量子技术正在为安全数据传输和量子计算提供关键的创新解决方案。为此目的，光的量子特性，特别是纠缠（两个或多个光子的特性，即使在物理上相距很远的情况下，也表现为一个）已经被成功地利用。然而，将量子技术“带出实验室”的要求意味着纠缠光源的必要发展。
