The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Multiphoton entanglement and interferometry (2008, background): “We shall not discuss the above mentioned aspects of quantum optics, as an interested reader can find excellent presentations in, e.g., Walls and Milburn (1994), Mandel and Wolf (1995), Scully and Zubairy (1997), and Lounis and Orrit (2005).”
Linear optical quantum computing with photonic qubits (2005, background): “A recent review on this topic by Lounis and Orrit (2005) identifies six types of microscopic sources: i) Atoms and ions in the gaseous phase4; ii) Organic molecules at low temperature and room temperature5; iii) Chromophoric systems6; iv) Colour centres in diamond, such as nitrogenvacancy7 or…”
The computational complexity of linear optics (2010, background): “) Fortunately, the task of building reliable single-photon sources is an extremely well-known one in quantum optics [44], and the technology to generate single-photon Fock states has been steadily improving over the past decade.”
An elementary quantum network of single atoms in optical cavities (2012, background): “[16] Lounis, B.”
The security of practical quantum key distribution (2008, background): “Sub-Poissonian sources have been, and still are, the object of intensive research; recent reviews cover the most meaningful developments (Lounis and Orrit, 2005; Shields, 2007).”
