Quantum Imaging

Quantum imaging is a new subfield of quantum optics that uses quantum correlations like quantum entanglement of the electromagnetic field to picture things with resolution and other imaging criteria that are incomparable to what can be achieved with traditional optics.

Quantum Imaging's goal is to show that by combining the quantum mechanical features of light with the fundamental and intrinsic parallelism of optical signals, new approaches for quantum information processing can be developed. This type of research is a very new area of quantum optics, and most aspects of it are still in their infancy. The initial stage was to create, define, and use spatially entangled non-classical light for the first time.
