Quantum Information Optics

We introduce quantum information optics as a new branch of science, which is the result of combining quantum optics and information science. The quantum effects of the light field. have very important applications for information transmission with super--large capacity, information detection with super-high precision and unbreakable secure quantum cryptography, and will play a unique role in photonics. The several fundamental physical problems and main research fields in quan- tum optics are expounded, including light sources with super-low noise, the copying of quantum infor- mation, quantum state engineering, quantum non-demolition measurement and quantum crypto- graphy.
