摘要
In the context of quantum technologies, the generation and manipulation of single photons has become a key element for applications such as quantum communication and quantum computing, as well as quantum metrology, biology and experiments probing the foundations of quantum physics discussed in an accompanying review. Here, we overview the definition and characterization of single-photon sources and discuss the requirements of single-photon sources for quantum communication and computing. We review the main milestones reached so far and discuss the remaining challenges. This Review overviews the application of single photons in quantum communication and quantum computation discussing specific needs and requirements and achieved milestones and outlining future improvements.
