In the last years, the possibility of controlling quantum systems at the individual level and exploiting their specific properties (as entanglement) led to the development of new technologies (such as quantum communication, quantum computation and quantum sensing & imaging), collectively dubbed “quantum technologies”. This development, often called the second quantum revolution (the first being related to electronics and laser among else), is expected to have a huge impact in several fields, ranging from fundamental physics investigations to the development of a quantum Internet.

In this talk, I will explain how these properties can provide advantages with respect to classical systems, providing a few paradigmatic examples.

In particular, I will present in some detail the new possibilities in imaging and optical sensing offered by quantum measurements, discussing practical applications.
