Single photons provide unique advantages for quantum information applications due to their robustness, individual addressability and bosonic character. Moreover, the intrinsic mobility of single photons makes them the best quantum information carriers for quantum networks, delegated quantum cloud computing and novel quantum computation schemes such as Boson Sampling and quantum random walks.
