However, quantum states of light open new avenues for ultrafast optics and spectroscopy, by the variation of their unique properties, e.g., entanglement and photon statistics, after interacting with materials. Quantum light possesses unique characteristics that distinguish it from classical light, particularly the phase-space distribution which reflects its fundamental quantum statistics and the quantum control protocol that may take advantage of noise reduction. This Review will focus on spectroscopic applications using entangled photons and squeezed light, in conjunction with quantum coherent control. We provide a brief introduction to the generation of the entangled and squeezed light, discussing their fundamental properties and connections to the control protocol that may enhance spectroscopic techniques. A microscopic theory for the spectroscopy and corresponding signals induced by certain transition processes is developed. Nonlinear optical signals induced by entangled photons for the coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra (CARS) and the stimulated Raman spectra (SRS) are investigated.

That is, transforming the field into a viable technology for scalable, stable, and reconfigurable quantum information processing, secure communication, and sensing systems beyond the limits of classical optics. Among the various integrated material platforms, thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) has recently attracted significant attention for quantum applications, due to its strong second-order nonlinear and electro-optic (EO) properties, and wide transparency range. Unlike conventional bulk lithium niobate photonics, which suffers from low optical confinement and limited wafer-scale scalability, TFLN enables submicron waveguides, tight bending radii, and dense photonic integration, leading to enhanced nonlinear interactions and compact device and circuit footprints. In addition, TFLN has potential for heterogeneous integration with other materials for access to other functionalities on the same chip, e.g., photodetection, low-loss passive optics, and third-order nonlinear optics.</div><div>This paper reviews the progress of integrated quantum photonics based on TFLN, highlighting early groundbreaking works, recent experimental milestones, and future opportunities and challenges. We start with an overview of the progress in classical EO devices, which are indispensable building blocks for quantum photonic integrated circuits such as cryogenic transducers. Background and progress in both second- and third-order nonlinear effects, such as frequency conversion, parametric effects, and related applications, like optical frequency combs, are reviewed. We will then focus on demonstrated quantum-optical effects on TFLN devices and circuits. Specifically, generation of high-brightness and spectrally pure quantum-correlated and entangled photons through spontaneous parametric down-conversion, as well as demonstrations of squeezed-light sources, are discussed. Moreover, we present an overview of experimental demonstrations of quantum key distribution and Hong–Ou–Mandel interferometry based on TFLN.

Advances in epitaxial growth techniques, including molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), and selective-area epitaxy (SAE), have enabled deterministic control over high-quality, compositionally flexible NW arrays. These breakthroughs have led to diverse device architectures, spanning Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavities, whispering gallery modes (WGM), plasmonic resonators, random cavities, and photonic crystal arrays, achieving low-threshold lasing, narrow linewidths, and spectral tunability. NW light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have further demonstrated polarization-free emission, geometry-driven color tuning, and monolithic full-color operation without phosphors, addressing long-standing challenges such as the “green gap” and scalable RGB integration. These structural and device-level advantages are now converging with the stringent requirements of next-generation AR/VR/XR micro-displays, which demand extreme luminance, sub-micron pixel pitches, narrow spectral linewidths, and directional emission for efficient coupling into waveguide optics. While conventional micro-LEDs face severe efficiency bottlenecks at deep submicron scales, NW lasers, particularly photonic-crystal and tunnel-junction surface-emitting designs, offer coherence, spectral purity, and engineered far-fields that are well aligned with immersive display engines. We further link these advances to system-level performance benchmarks, including luminance after optical combiners, spectral stability, power efficiency, and manufacturability. Finally, beyond displays, progress in tunnel junction integration and photonic-crystal NW surface-emitting lasers highlights the future application potential of this technology in on-chip photonic interconnects, quantum light sources, and emerging optical computing paradigms.
