Quantum Metrology, Imaging, and Communication
Author: David S. Simon, Gregg Jaeger, Alexander V. Sergienko
Quantum Metrology, Imaging, and Communication explores the theoretical and experimental foundations of applying quantum phenomena to precision measurement, advanced imaging, and information transmission. Introducing the principles of quantum optics and entanglement, the authors explain how quantum coherence and correlations can be exploited in the development of novel optical measurement techniques and information-processing systems. Drawing on both theoretical analysis and experimental demonstrations, the book examines topics such as two-photon interference, quantum measurement, and the behavior of light in optical systems. The book further covers the cancellation of optical dispersion and aberrations, quantum metrology, ghost imaging, quantum microscopy, the orbital angular momentum of photons, and quantum communication and cryptography. By connecting fundamental quantum-optical principles with experimental applications, it provides a specialized resource for students and researchers working in photonics, quantum sensing, advanced imaging, and secure communication technologies.
