Abstract

We generalize optical wavefront shaping to the quantum domain and use it for reconstructing spatial entanglement between photon pairs that have been randomized after propagation through a scattering medium.

Coincidence-feedback-based wavefront shaping through a scattering layer

Baptiste Courme, Daniele Faccio, Sylvain Gigan +1 more

This study falls within the emerging field of quantum optics in scattering media. By employing wavefront shaping, researchers successfully transmitted spatially entangled photon pairs through scattering media, mitigating optical disturbances by wavefront shaping. They maintained entanglement with a dimensionality of 17 after propagation, opening avenues for applications in quantum microscopy and quantum communication. Interestingly, this work also shows that in certain cases, quantum entanglement can be transmitted through a complex medium, while classical light remains scattered.

Wavefront Shaping of Spatially Entangled Photons Scattered by Dynamic Random Media

We compensate for scattering of pairs of spatially entangled photons from a dynamic diffuser, by tailoring the wavefront of the pump beam which generates the photon-pairs in a spontaneous parametric down conversion process.

Programming quantum interference with multiple scattering

S.R. Huisman, T. J. Huisman, Tom A. W. Wolterink +2 more

Multiple-scattering has become an exciting platform for quantum optical experiments [1-5]. In wavefront shaping one uses spatial light modulation in combination with strongly scattering materials to achieve control over light in space and time [6]. Recent wavefront-shaping experiments have transformed opaque media in equivalents of waveguides, lenses, waveplates and optical pulse compressors that are inherently robust against disorder and imaging errors. In quantum optics, interference of quantum states is studied in often complicated optical circuits. This requires a close-to-perfect implementation of the setup and provides little flexibility or programmability of the interference. We implement the radically different approach to apply wavefront shaping on quantum light to obtain ample flexibility in optimization and manipulation of the quantum interference. This offers unique opportunities for sample characterization, quantum patterning, secure key generation, or quantum transport through disordered media.

Nonlocal wavefront shaping through complex media

Yanis Trouyet, Neelan Gounden, Pedro Ornelas +3 more

Wavefront shaping is a key technique for mitigating scattering in complex media, enabling advanced imaging and optical communication. Yet existing approaches are inherently local, requiring active correction elements - such as spatial light modulators or deformable mirrors - to lie directly in the optical path of the scattered light, which limits their integration into compact imaging systems. Here, we experimentally demonstrate nonlocal wavefront shaping using spatially entangled photon pairs. By applying a phase correction to a photon that never interacts with the scattering medium, we compensate for the distortions experienced by its entangled partner and restore their initial spatial correlations. Our approach physically decouples the wavefront correction from the scattering medium, paving the way for imaging through complex media in compact and otherwise inaccessible systems.
