1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Photonic quantum technologies are now progressing from demonstrations of fundamental phenomena to systems of sufficient scale and quality to enable practical applications with quantum advantage in communications, computation and metrology. Here we review recent advances in quantum optics that have led to the emergence of such scalable quantum technologies, and outline the road ahead to more general applications with greater potential impact. We first focus on the components that support various photonic quantum applications, including quantum light sources, linear-optical networks and detectors. We go on to discuss recent experimental demonstrations of quantum communication, quantum computation and simulation, and quantum metrology using photons. Finally, an overview is provided on the manner in which photons fit within both the opportunities and challenges of implementing space-to-ground quantum internet, universal quantum computing and quantum precision measurement.
