Firstly, it studies the generation of non-classical states of light through strong-field processes, where light-matter interactions involve light intensities contending with the forces binding electrons to their nuclei. This exploration demonstrates the utility of strong-field phenomena in generating non-classical states of light, with properties dependent on specific dynamics and materials involved in the excitation. Secondly, it investigates the constraints and prerequisites of non-classical light sources—beyond those studied in the first part—for advancing quantum communication applications,specifically in quantum key distribution. The aim here is to create a secret key exclusively known by the communicating parties for encrypting and decrypting messages. As a whole, this work serves as a foundational step towards leveraging strong-field physics as a prospective tool for quantum information science applications, as well as displaying the advantages and limitations of photonic-based setups for quantum key distribution. With its very clear style of presentation, the book is an essential reference for future researchers working in this field. 0aQuantum computing.964754 0aOptics.96660714aQuantum Information.96661124aOptics and Photonics.9673192 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303173768808iPrinted edition:z978303173770108iPrinted edition:z9783031737718 0aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,x2190-506196637040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-73769-5  aZDB-2-PHA  aZDB-2-SXP  c66475d66475
