Intensity interferometry for observation of dark objects

Dmitry V. Strekalov, Baris I. Erkmen, Nan Yu

We analyze an intensity interferometry measurement carried out with two point-like detectors facing a distant source (e.g., a star) that may be partially occluded by an absorptive…

On Approaching the Ultimate Limits of Photon-Efficient and Bandwidth-Efficient Optical Communication

Sam Dolinar, Kevin M. Birnbaum, Baris I. Erkmen +1

It is well known that ideal free-space optical communication at the quantum limit can have unbounded photon information efficiency (PIE), measured in bits per photon. High PIE come…

Gaussian-state quantum-illumination receivers for target detection

Saikat Guha, Baris I. Erkmen

The signal half of an entangled twin-beam, generated using spontaneous parametric downconversion, interrogates a region of space that is suspected of containing a target, and has h…

Quantum Illumination with Gaussian States

Si-Hui Tan, Baris I. Erkmen, Vittorio Giovannetti +5

An optical transmitter irradiates a target region containing a bright thermal-noise bath in which a low-reflectivity object might be embedded. The light received from this region i…

Signal-to-noise ratio of Gaussian-state ghost imaging

Baris I. Erkmen, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

The signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of three Gaussian-state ghost imaging configurations--distinguished by the nature of their light sources--are derived. Two use classical-state lig…

Gaussian-State Theory of Two-Photon Imaging

Baris I. Erkmen, Jeffrey H. Shapiro

Biphoton states of signal and idler fields--obtained from spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) in the low-brightness, low-flux regime--have been utilized in several quantum…
