For intense optical pulses the optical Kerr interaction in matter such as an optical fiber is large enough to generate quantum states of light with significant non‐classical properties. On this basis pairs of entangled light pulses have been generated. This entanglement can be used for novel schemes in high precision interferometry and for quantum communication protocols such as quantum dense coding.
