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. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aQuantum computing 606 $aOptics 606 $aQuantum Information 606 $aOptics and Photonics 615 0$aQuantum computing. 615 0$aOptics. 615 14$aQuantum Information. 615 24$aOptics and Photonics. 676 $a530.12 676 $a003.54 700 $aRivera-Dean$b Javier$01803007 701 $aCiappina$b Marcelo$01803008 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910951799303321 996 $aNon-classical States of Light$94349491 997 $aUNINA
