Photonic Quantum Technologies: Science and Applications, John Wiley & Sons (2023).

The aim here is to bring together scientists with different expertise from across different disciplines. Fundamentals and applications of photonic quantum technologies are covered. This book provides readers with cutting-edge knowledge they need to understand and develop practical quantum systems in one place. It also gives a comprehensive overview of quantum technologies, including discussions of the second quantum revolution (by Nobel Laureate Alain Aspect). The development of quantum technologies involving artificial atoms, color centers, molecules, atoms, and ions is discussed.

We are happy to start 2025 with the release of a special issue on Recent Advances in Photonic Quantum Technologies, published in the Journal of Advanced Quantum Technology in celebration of 100 years of quantum science!

This special issue provides an in-depth exploration of recent advancements in the dynamic and rapidly progressing field of photonic quantum systems. Featuring 20 contributions: 3 Perspectives, 4 Reviews, and 13 Research Articles. The collection dives into diverse material systems—spanning from atom-based to artificial atom quantum emitters. More detail about the selection of papers can be found in Adv. Quantum Technol. 8, 2400628 (2025).

This Special Issue provides an overview of recent exciting developments in the field of photonic quantum technologies, serving to keep researchers up-to-date with the latest progress and spurring on new concepts in this field. The studied material systems range from molecules to semiconductor quantum emitters. A major challenge is the design of telecom photon emitters with high efficiency, good yield, spectral purity, stability and the possibility of mass manufacture. This special issue features an extensive collection of 22 articles. More detail about the selection of papers can be found in Adv. Quantum Technol. 2, 2000007 (2020).
