Quantum Information Science Using Photons

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Fundamentals of Quantum Information

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 587))

Abstract

Quantum optics provides an ideal medium for implementing some of the most interesting quantum information schemes. This chapter gives an overview of photons as carriers of quantum information and their use in protocols such as quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum cloning.
