Abstract

Quantum imaging has demonstrated two peculiar features: (1) reproducing “ghost” images in a nonlocal manner; and (2) enhancing spatial resolution beyond diffraction limit. This talk will review the history and emphasize the non-classical nature of the phenomenon.

Quantum imaging has demonstrated two peculiar features: (1) reproducing "ghost" images in a nonlocal manner, and (2) enhancing spatial resolution of imaging beyond diffraction limit. Both surprises come from the superposition of two-photon amplitudes, a non-classical entity corresponding to different yet indistinguishable alternative ways of triggering a joint photo-detection event.

One of the most surprising consequences of quantum mechanics is the entanglement of two or more distant particles. Although questions regarding fundamental issues of quantum theory still exist, quantum entanglement has started to play important roles in practical engineering applications. Quantum imaging is one of these exciting areas. Quantum imaging has demonstrated two peculiar features: 1) reproducing ghost images in a nonlocal manner and 2) enhancing the spatial resolution of imaging beyond the diffraction limit. In this paper, we start with the review of classical imaging to establish the basic concepts and formalisms of imaging. We then analyze two-photon imaging with particular emphasis on the physics of spatial resolution enhancement and the ghost imaging phenomenon.
