Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The photonic quantum information processing technique has an important role in the intersection of quantum physics and classical optics. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in the field of photonic quantum information processing. This Special Issue is focused on recent advancements in a series of related domains.
Photonics, the science and technology of generating, manipulating, and detecting light, has a pivotal role in the advancement of quantum information science. The unique properties of photons, such as their low interaction with the environment and high-speed transmission capabilities, make them ideal carriers of quantum information. This Special Issue brings together a collection of peer-reviewed articles that spans the theoretical foundations and experimental breakthroughs in photonic quantum information processing. Contributions that delve into the interdisciplinary aspects of quantum optics and related technological applications are encouraged.
This Special Issue welcomes fundamental theory research, advanced technologies, and innovative applications. Manuscripts will include, but will not be limited to, the following topics:
- Quantum Imaging and Sensing;
- Optical Imaging and Sensing;
- Applications of Photonic Quantum Information Processing;
- Novel Materials and Devices in Quantum Optics;
- Quantum Communication;
- Quantum Computing;
- Photonics Integration;
- Quantum Metrology and Precision Measurements;
- Single Photon Detection and Imaging;
- Computational Imaging;
- Ghost Imaging;
- Computational Imaging with Artificial Intelligence.
