摘要

It is becoming clear that quantum ideas will pave the way for a wide range of applications in the next generation of quantum technologies and quantum communications. The basis for many of these applications revolves around quantum coherence, quantum entanglement and quantum interference. These quantum ideas can provide us with methodologies to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and resolution for sensing and imaging. The quantum state of light and qubits have great potential in sensing far beyond classical limits. Such a hypersensitive sensing scheme can be utilized for ultra-sensitive

measurements of phase, displacements and extremely weak absorptions in systems ranging from physics to biology. I will specifically describe advances in sensing from the use of quantum light.
