Quantum Imaging
- The strong temporal and spatial correlations of entangled-photons yield several interesting optical configurations that can be exploited for unique two-dimensional imaging applications. For example, optical manipulations performed on one member of and entangled-photon pair instantaneuosly affect measurements on the partner photon. When photon detections are evaluated in coincidence, this feature permits one to insert an optical element into the path of one of the photons and thereby introduce a corresponding effect of the element in the partner's path.
We are investigating fundamental aspects of such imaging configurations and designing unconventional practical applications.
