Over the past 20 years bright sources of entangled photons have led to a renaissance
in quantum optical interferometry. These photon sources have been used to test the
foundations of quantum mechanics and implement some of the spooky ideas associated
with quantum entanglement such as quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography,
quantum lithography, quantum computing logic gates, and sub-shot-noise optical
interferometers. I will discuss some of these advances and the unification of optical
quantum imaging, metrology, and information processing. I will end with quantum
communications and networks and highlight advances particularly in China.
