Abstract

Entangled photon quantum imaging technology has broad application prospects in ocean imaging due to its high resolution, anti-turbulence and anti-interference characteristics. Turbulence and optical attenuation caused by seawater will seriously limit the traditional imaging system, and quantum imaging based on entangled light source can overcome the limitations of low imaging resolution, large impact on marine environment and low confidentiality in traditional underwater target imaging. Based on the propagation characteristics of weak turbulent environment, we propose a new photon capture probability algorithm for marine environment based on entangled photon pairs. Finally, the relevant experimental environment is constructed according to the designed imaging optical path. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed quantum imaging method.

Robust Optical Quantum Imaging Framework With Entangled Photons in Oceanic Turbulent Environments

Jingyang Cao, Mu Zhou, Ruichen Zhang +3 more

As an important part of underwater optical technology, underwater imaging plays a crucial role in accurately capturing underwater targets and environmental features. Facing the challenges of complex ocean environments and severe photon attenuation, quantum imaging breaks through the limitations of traditional optical imaging technology by utilizing the characteristics of two-photon entanglement and time-space correlation, thus offering a new perspective on ocean turbulence. To this end, we propose a new underwater entangled-photon quantum imaging system. Specifically, we first construct an entangled photon quantum imaging physical model through ocean long-exposure turbulence and then exploit an entangled light coincidence imaging reconstruction method to image the target object. Furthermore, in response to the problem that ocean environment has a great impact on photons, we develop a photon capture probability method based on entangled photon pairs to reduce the impact of the ocean turbulence noise on imaging and improve the underwater target imaging resolution. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by showing that even in harsh ocean environments, quantum imaging performs superior resolution capabilities over traditional light source imaging techniques.

Jingyang Cao, Wei Nie, Mu Zhou

Entangled photon quantum imaging technology has become very promising for marine imaging due to its high resolution, anti-turbulence, and anti-interference properties. The turbulence and optical attenuation caused by oceanic water would impose severe limitations on conventional imaging equipment. Quantum imaging based on entangled light sources could make it possible to overcome the constraints of low imaging resolution, large maritime environmental impact and low confidentiality in traditional underwater target imaging. Hence, the recent technological developments in terms of quantum imaging in free space motivate our investigation into high-resolution quantum imaging based on spatially correlated properties of entangled photon pairs in a marine environment. Moreover we propose and design an innovative underwater quantum imaging optical path for experimental verification. We conduct extensive experiments to assess the effectiveness of our proposed quantum imaging approach in marine environments. In order to solve the problem of the slow quantum imaging process, we propose an innovative compressive sensing reconstruction algorithm. Experiments show that the compressive sensing method could be utilized to reduce the imaging time. Finally, we propose an underwater quantum target identification method based on deep learning, further providing the possibility for underwater quantum target identification of entangled light sources.

The entangled quantum radar applies the quantum information technology to the radar sensing network and detection system. The dynamic particle changes and optical attenuation caused by complex atmospheric environments will severely limit the traditional radar performance. Due to entanglement characteristics, the entangled optical quantum radar has better anti-stealth interference ability, stronger anti-turbulence properties, and higher spatial resolution which makes it promising in complex and high-attenuation environments. In addition, quantum radar based on the entangled light source can overcome the limitations of low imaging resolution and low confidentiality in traditional target detection. Therefore, high-precision positioning and high-resolution imaging are the research focus of the quantum radar sensing network. Based on this, we first design and optimize an optical path structure of the quantum entangled light source to obtain higher brightness entangled source which is suitable for complex atmospheric environments. Second, in response to the problem of low positioning accuracy in the traditional quantum radar, we design a new positioning optical path and propose a novel entangled optical quantum positioning method based on the photon scattering model.

Finally, we conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method in complex atmospheric environments and further provide possibilities for the entangled light source quantum radar sensing network.
