Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme of quantum secure ghost imaging. It realizes information transmission over optical fibers by temporal ghost imaging, and performs the security test by monitoring the entanglement in photon pairs.

Quantum secure ghost imaging

Xin Yao, Xu Liu, Lixing You +6 more

In this work, we propose a scheme of quantum secure ghost imaging (QSGI), which combines temporal quantum ghost imaging and security test based on quantum entanglement. Utilizing the quantum feature of entangled photon pairs, the eavesdropping in the imaging process can be detected, with a certain degree of protection on the object information. The proposed scheme is demonstrated by experiment, in which photon pairs are generated by a quantum light source based on a silicon waveguide. Two-dimensional patterns are imaged line by line over 50 km optical fibers and the security test is realized by two-photon interference for energy-time entanglement. QSGI could be applied in scenarios of secure imaging and surveillance, and may inspire new ideas on specific quantum communication tasks.

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.

Asynchronous Quantum Ghost Imaging

We implemented a novel setup for quantum ghost imaging using two asynchronously running detectors. The subsequent temporal evaluation allows photon pair matching independent of the path length of the photons, thus enabling efficient 3D Imaging.

Photonic energy-time entangement in quantum communications

Wei Zhang, Yidong Huang

This talk introduces our recent works on how to use photonic energy-time entanglement in quantum communications. On one hand, we realized entanglement based dispersive optics quantum key distribution over optical fibers of 20 kilometers, in which time encoding based on energy-time entanglement was used. On the other hand, we proposed and demonstrated a scheme of temporal quantum ghost imaging, which could be realized by correlations in either frequency or time in energy-time entangled photon pairs. Based on it, a scheme of quantum secure ghost imaging was proposed and demonstrated, and it was applied on a new protocol of multi-bit QDS recently.

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.
