The work provides fundamental expertise of quantum optics and photonic quantum technology with particular attention to the generation of non-classical light with semiconductor nanostructures. The book is written by experimentalists for experimentalists at various career stages: physics and engineering students, researchers in quantum optics, industry experts in quantum technology. A didactical structure is followed, having in each chapter overview and summary of the discussed topics, allowing for a quick consultation. The book covers:

Peter Michler is a physics professor and the head of the Institute for Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, concentrating research on quantum dots, non-classical light sources, photonic quantum technology and semiconductor lasers.

Simone Luca Portalupi is head of the quantum optics group at the Institute for Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He focuses on quantum dots, classical and quantum photonics, quantum technology, spectroscopy, and hybrid quantum systems.
