A Review on The Photonic Quantum Information Processing Technology

At present, the human society is stepping into the era of the interconnection of everything, every moment there are massive data needs to be transmitted and processed. With the massive growth of data information, people put forward a higher demand for the information processing ability of network, so the photon information processing technology was put forward. Photonic information processing technology refers to the technology of processing optical information directly in the optical domain. It breaks through the bottleneck of bandwidth and rate of traditional electrical information processing, and has become a solution of ultra-high speed information processing. In addition, the latest technology makes quantum information processing technology possible, which provides a promising platform for applications and research in a variety of contexts. This paper begins with photon generation and transitions from photon information processing technology to quantum information processing technology. The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a comprehensive review of the field, showing a balance between theoretical and experimental technical results.
