Quantum Imaging with Undetected Photons Gabriela Barreto Lemos Quantum Interference “A phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics.” – Feynman Can the yellow paths interfere? Two Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion sources Beam splitter detector Laser NO! Because d and f carry information as to where the detected yellow photon came from "In quantum mechanics interference is always a manifestation of the intrinsic indistinguishability of the photon paths, in which case the corresponding probability amplitudes add. " Can the yellow paths interfere? (A)|T|=0.91 (B)|T|=0 Only one pair of photons is generated! This is NOT two photon interference! Zou, Wang, Mandel, Phys Rev.

Phase imaging of an invisible object 2 step at detection wavelength Etched SiO2 step at illumination wavelength Summary • We have shown that information can be extracted about an object without detecting the photons that interacted with it. • We can realise grey scale imaging with the same setup. • It can be used to realise interaction-free imaging. • We can exploit other photonic degrees of freedom. For example, spectrum. • We have seen in single photon detections information that is in fact contained in the bi-photon correlations (phase imaging). What/how much information contained belonging to the bi-photon can be accessed by detecting only one of the systems?
