The methods of quantum optics are extremely extensive; they open the way to unique theoretical and experimental research, both fundamental and applied.
Of particular interest are two main areas of research in this area:
- Firstly, it is a search and description of fundamentally new quantum optical effects, methods for applying useful effects and methods for compensating negative ones.
- Secondly, it is the development of new mathematical models that describe optical elements that are sometimes well known from the point of view of classical theory in terms of quantum theory in a more accurate way, which allows them to find new, sometimes unexpected, applications, adapt their use to non-classical light.
