Quantum Imaging: Enhanced Image Formation Using Quantum States of Light

Robert W. Boyd

Published Jun 7, 2007• 0 citations

Abstract

Image formation based on the use of quantum states of light allows for dramatic new possibilities in the field of image science. In this contribution, we review some of the conceptual possibilities afforded by quantum imaging and describe recent work that displays some of these features.

Quantum imaging: enhanced image formation using quantum states of light

Robert W. Boyd, Kam Wai Clifford Chan, Anand K. Jha +4 more

We review recent research in the field of quantum imaging. Quantum imaging deals with the formation of images that possess higher resolution or better signal-to-noise characteristics than conventional images by making use of the coherence properties of quantum light fields. Quantum imaging also deals with indirect imaging methods such as ghost imaging, in which image information is conveyed not by a single light field but by the correlations between two separate light fields. In this contribution we concentrate primarily on recent results in the area of ghost imaging.

A review of quantum imaging methods and enabling technologies

Duncan P. Ryan, James H. Werner

The field of quantum imaging has recently seen an explosion of new methods and techniques. At the heart of most quantum imaging approaches are three enabling technologies: the source of the quantum light, the detectors that turn sensing into imaging, and the method by which the quantum nature of light is leveraged to improve the desired measurement. This review addresses the dominant and emerging technologies in each of these components as well as details concerning the implementations of various quantum imaging methods.

The Promise of Quantum Nonlinear Optics

Robert W. Boyd

We explore the use of nonlinear optical methods for important applications in quantum information science. One example is the use nonlinear optical methods in the context of “quantum imaging.” We describe some of the conceptual possibilities afforded by the marriage of quantum and classical imaging methods, and we describe recent work that illustrates some of these features. We also address the complementary issue of how advanced imaging protocols can allow one to utilize and manipulate the enormous information content residing in the transvers structure of a quantum light field.

Quantum imaging for enhanced microscopy and light modulation

Álvaro Cuevas, Robin Camphausen, Valerio Pruneri

In this work we do a brief analysis of some widespread technologies for imaging science and security, while we also propose new techniques to exceed their standard classical limits by using quantum illumination and quantum detection, and exploiting special quantum modulation phenomena.

Real applications of quantum imaging

Marco Genovese

Abstract In previous years the possibility of creating and manipulating quantum states of light has paved the way for the development of new technologies exploiting peculiar properties of quantum states, such as quantum information, quantum metrology and sensing, quantum imaging, etc. In particular quantum imaging addresses the possibility of overcoming limits of classical optics by using quantum resources such as entanglement or sub-Poissonian statistics. Albeit, quantum imaging is a more recent field than other quantum technologies, e.g. quantum information, it is now mature enough for application. Several different protocols have been proposed, some of them only theoretically, others with an experimental implementation and a few of them pointing to a clear application. Here we present a few of the most mature protocols ranging from ghost imaging to sub shot noise imaging and sub-Rayleigh imaging.
