Quantum systems have the potential to revolutionize communication and computer technology. These technologies stem from our ability to control and measure their often fragile quantum mechanical properties. Optical systems play a central role in quantum technologies; single photons are excellent carriers of quantum information over long distances and the degrees of freedom of light give rise to rich and complex entanglement, the quantum correlations that form the engine of many quantum technologies.

量子系统有可能彻底改变通信和计算机技术。这些技术源于我们控制和测量它们通常脆弱的量子力学特性的能力。 光学系统在量子技术中发挥着核心作用;单光子是长距离量子信息的优秀载体，光的自由度产生了丰富而复杂的纠缠，量子相关性构成了许多量子技术的引擎。
