Generalized entangled-photon imaging

Abstract

When one of a pair of entangled photon beams is transmitted through an object, coincidences with photons in the other beam contain information about the object. We present a generalized formulation for a coded-aperture imaging system using this effect.

Quantum Imaging of Non-Unitary Objects with Spatially Entangled Photon Pairs

We image one- and two-photon parts of the state of entangled photon pairs transmitted through lossy objects using an EMCCD camera and demonstrate that the one-photon intensity contains information on the degree of spatial entanglement.

Quantum Ghost Image Discrimination with a Single Photon Pair

Mehul Malik, Heedeuk Shin, Petros Zerom +1 more

A quantum ghost imaging scheme is modified to discriminate between two spatially non-overlapping objects using a single pair of entangled photons. The “ghost” image information is extracted by means of holographic filtering and coincidence detection.

Applications of Quantum Entanglement Towards “Ghost” Imaging

Weronika Pach

In this work, pairs of entangled photons are aimed at two spatially separated detectors: the path to one detector contains a physical object, while the path to the second detector does not. Yet, the second detector can be used to create an image of the object, even though none of the photons arriving at that detector have ever interacted with the object! This “ghost” imaging takes advantage of information that is shared between entangled photon pairs. This work aims to explore the underlying principles in a ghost imaging system that utilizes spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) as the source of entangled photons, with the larger goal of understanding the principles and operation of key parts of the system.

Quantum holographic imaging by entangled photons

Jaewan Kim, Hai-Woong Lee

Principle of quantum holographic imaging is explained. While one of the entangled twin photons interacts with an object, the other one carries the holographic image of the object. While this scheme does not work for simple scattering objects, it works for absorbing objects with selective coincidence detection. Generalization of this scheme to state-transforming objects is also proposed.

Correlated imaging with entangled light beams

A. Gatti, E. Brambilla, Luigi A. Lugiato

We formulate a theory for entangled imaging, which includes also the case of a large number of photons in the two entangled beams. We show that the results for imaging and the wave-particle duality features, which have been demonstrated in the microscopic case, persist in the macroscopic domain. Although the visibility of the information retrieved via correlation measurements in the regime of high photon number is lower than in the coincidence counting regime, we show that efficient reconstruction of both the image and the diffraction pattern of an object is possible.

“Two-Photon” Coincidence Imaging with a Classical Source

Ryan S. Bennink, Sean J. Bentley, Robert W. Boyd

Coincidence imaging is a technique that extracts an image of a test system from the statistics of photons transmitted by a reference system when the two systems are illuminated by a source possessing appropriate correlations. It has recently been argued that quantum entangled sources are necessary for the implementation of this technique. We show that this technique does not require entanglement, and we provide an experimental demonstration of coincidence imaging using a classical source. We further find that any kind of coincidence imaging technique which uses a "bucket" detector in the test arm is incapable of imaging phase-only objects, whether a classical or quantum source is employed.
