| Title: |
Single-Photon Sources and Detectors |
| Published: |

| Abstract: |
We review the current status of single-photon-source and single-photon-detector technologies operating at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the infrared. We discuss applications of these technologies to quantum communication, a field that is currently driving much of the development of single-photon sources and detectors. |
