Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical quantum systems have attracted considerable attention and become one of the most active research areas in quantum science and technology. These systems open new avenues for realizing various quantum science tasks, such as quantum precision measurement, quantum communication, quantum information processing, quantum simulation, quantum sensing, quantum imaging, and quantum computing. Novel advances in optoelectronic materials, integrated technologies, precision measurement, and information science boost the rapid development of optical quantum system. The exciting applications and rich emerging technologies based on optical quantum systems will shape the new area of quantum optics in the future.
This Special Issue aims to present reviews and cutting-edge research articles on the latest advances and potential applications of “Optical Quantum Systems” and related research fields, including but not limited to:
- Quantum precision measurement and sensing;
- Quantum imaging and interference measurement;
- Production and manipulation of ultracold atoms and molecules;
- Precise spectroscopy measurement of atoms and molecules;

Abstract: In this work, we report the measurement of 6Li Rydberg excitation spectrum by a ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a vapor cell. The 2p-ns/nd EIT spectra are recorded by sweeping the frequency of ultraviolet Rydberg pumping laser while keeping the probing laser resonant to the 2s-2p transition. All lasers are locked on an ultrastable optical Fabry Pérot cavity and measured by an optical frequency comb. Our results provide valuable information to precise determine the Rydberg constant and enable novel experiments with Rydberg-dressed ultracold Fermi gases
