In this article, the link between nanophotonics and the science of quantum technologies is considered. Such an interdisciplinary approach may serve as a starting point for the development of breakthrough technologies. Several new directions, including strong light-matter coupling, topological photonics, metasurfaces and photon sources, and suspended optomechanics have been addressed in quantum nanophotonics. We hope that this review will foster an enhanced interaction between the nanophotonics and quantum science communities. Such synergy leads to the realization of new communication, sensory and information processing systems. In this article, explanations are given about quantum computing and the applications of computing in various fields, quantum optics, quantum telecommunications, and after introducing Rydberg atoms and their properties, the progress made in the construction of Rydberg quantum computers in the atomic network is reviewed. Then, the application of Rydberg atoms in quantum optics and its use in the production of a single-photon source and a two-photon gate are presented. In the last part of the article, suggestions are also given.
