Photonic quantum information processing: a review
Open accessAbstract
Photonic quantum technologies represent a promising platform for several applications, ranging from long-distance communications to the simulation of complex phenomena. Indeed, the advantages offered by single photons do make them the candidate of choice for carrying quantum information in a broad variety of areas with a versatile approach. Furthermore, recent technological advances are now enabling first concrete applications of photonic quantum information processing. The goal of this manuscript is to provide the reader with a comprehensive review of the state of the art in this active field, with a due balance between theoretical, experimental and technological results. When more convenient, we will present significant achievements in tables or in schematic figures, in order to convey a global perspective of the several horizons that fall under the name of photonic quantum information.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review surveys photonic quantum information processing across single-photon encoding and technologies, quantum communication, and quantum simulation. It synthesizes theoretical, experimental, and technological milestones, using tables and schematic figures to map the field.
Key findings
- The review organizes the field into three chapters: single-photon encoding and photonic technologies, quantum communication, and photonic quantum simulation.
- In quantum communication, it reports a dense-coding channel capacity of (1.665 ± 0.018), beating the linear-optics/entanglement limit log₂3 ≈ 1.585 bits; teleportation of single-photon qubits over 1400 km to a satellite; and 2018 decoy-state QKD between a low-Earth-orbit satellite and ground stations separated by 7600 km.
- In quantum simulation/BosonSampling, it notes four 2013 experiments with n = 3 photons and classical simulation up to 30 photons in 2017; quantum repeaters are classified into three generations, with type III transferring blocks of ∼200 qubits.
- Photonic technologies reviewed include single-photon sources in the 750–1550 nm range, integrated circuits, and detectors; the paper states current sources fulfill only a limited number of ideal requirements.
Methods
- Design: narrative review, not primary research; it aims for a balance among theoretical, experimental, and technological results.
- Data/sample: literature and reported achievements, presented in tables or schematic figures; no new sample or dataset is generated.
- Analysis: classification and synthesis into three chapters; no systematic review protocol or meta-analysis is stated.
Limitations
- Stated: the field evolves rapidly, making it “challenging to stay up-to-date” during completion; the classification includes works that “easily overlap.”
- Evident: as a review, it reports no original experiments or data, and no systematic search or inclusion criteria are described.
- Evident: coverage is selective and organized by the authors’ three-chapter framework, so it cannot be exhaustive.

What the sources say
- Could not verifycites [37] Kaiser, 2014, Opt. Commun. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Conclusion describes precise control of polarization-entangled states, not path-encoded qubits. A search for path encoding found discussion of interferometer paths in the polarization-entanglement preparation stage, but no claim about universal manipulation of path-encoded qubits or their technological requirements relative to other encodings. (LLM, conf=0.76)
- Disputedcites [122] Goyal, 2013, Sci. Rep. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Discussion (page unavailable) says that preparing and manipulating the paper’s path-separated single-rail qubits is problematic compared with OAM-encoded qudits. It also says general deterministic single- and two-qubit gates are unavailable for single-rail qubits, contrary to the claimed ease of universal manipulation. The paper assigns the advantage of standard preparation and manipulation techniques to OAM-encoded qudits, not these qubits. (LLM, conf=0.86)

In the paper
“Two methods can be adopted to circumvent the issue of noisy channels: to increase the resilience of a protocol to losses and noise [380][381][382] (two-way classical communications), or to decrease their influence by encoding information in immune states (decoherence-free subspaces, DFS), for both quantum computation [383] and quantum communication tasks [384].”
§ Photonic quantum information processing: a review > 2.1.2. Decoherence-free communication -
What the sources say
- Partly supportedcites [380] Chen, 2008, Nat. Phys. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The main text says the teleportation fidelity is insensitive to photon losses, supporting the loss-resilience part of the clause to which this paper is cited. The Figure 1 description says Bell-state measurement results are sent from Alice to Bob over a classical channel; it does not describe two-way classical communication as the source of resilience, or establish resilience to channel noise generally. The decoherence-free-subspace method is cited separately in the citing sentence. (LLM, conf=0.86)
- Partly supportedcites [381] Nölleke, 2013, Phys. Rev. Lett. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Abstract describes teleportation as an alternative to direct transfer over lossy channels, and the Efficiency of the protocol section says successful transfers are heralded. This supports the loss-resilience part of the cited clause, but our copy does not establish the claimed use of two-way classical communication or general resilience to channel noise. The DFS clause is cited to other sources, not this paper. (LLM, conf=0.82)
- Partly supportedcites [382] Bao, 2012, Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Experimental details (page unavailable) describe heralded state preparation, a trigger for successful teleportation, and classical measurement results sent to node B. These support the use of classical signaling in a heralded protocol, but the paper does not establish the cited claim that two-way classical communication increases resilience to channel losses and noise. The decoherence-free-subspace alternative is attributed to other citations, not this paper. (LLM, conf=0.79)

It does not report continuous-time quantum walks, so it supports the two-photon-correlation portion of the cited claim but not the setting attributed to it. (LLM, conf=0.85)
- Partly supportedcites [536] Venegas-Andraca, 2012, Chapter: Quantum walks: a comprehensive review sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The citation is attached to the two-photon correlations item, not to the later results in the sentence. The Conclusions report observed quantum correlations in photon walks and, separately, a two-photon continuous-time walk. Our copy does not explicitly say that the observed photon correlations were in a two-photon continuous-time walk. (LLM, conf=0.78)

The authors state this as an assumption.
The two highly plausible conjectures used by Aaronson and Arkhipov hold.
“Assuming two highly plausible conjectures [559], Aaronson and Arkhipov showed that, should a classical polynomial-time algorithm exist capable to solve BosonSampling, it would imply the collapse of the polynomial hierarchy of complexity classes to the third level, a possibility of huge consequences widely believed to be unlikely.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
