Quantum sensing using entangled photons

Quantum technology has been attracting significant attention recently.
It harnesses the intrinsic nature of quantum mechanics such as quantum superposition, the uncertainty principle, and quantum entanglement to realize novel functions. Recently, quantum metrology and quantum sensing are emerging as appealing applications of quantum technology. In this talk, we will report our recent progresses on the development of novel quantum entangled-photon sources and application to quantum sensing [1, 2].
