High resolution hybrid quantum-enhanced imaging and readout
FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-01
Summary
Remote quantum sensing is one of the emerging technologies that exploit photonic quantum correlations for detecting, probing and imaging classical objects with fundamentally better performance than traditional approaches. The state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental studies in the field mainly focus on the generation and measurement of such quantum correlations under very specific and controlled conditions that can reveal the quantum advantage. However, the practical realization of these technologies with their ultimate performance also requires the manipulation of photonic quantum correlations, such as storage and reversible transfer between the entities, in a highly controlled and coherent fashion. In the Project, our goal is to explore and develop new methods of remote quantum sensing/imaging relying on quantum radiation in both the optical and microwave domains. The project team will explore different quantum remote sensing approaches and develop integrated platforms and systems (sources and detectors) that can find use in near-future applications, ranging from quantum Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) & Radar-based sensing to quantum imaging of biological samples.

Description (French)
La télédétection quantique est une technologie émergente qui recourt aux corrélations photoniques quantiques pour détecter, sonder et imager des objets ordinaires, mais avec des résultats fondamentalement supérieurs à ceux obtenus avec les techniques usuelles. Les études théoriques et expérimentales les plus poussées dans le domaine portent essentiellement sur la production et la quantification de ces corrélations dans des conditions ultraprécises et contrôlées qui font ressortir l’utilité de la science quantique. Toutefois, mettre ces technologies en pratique pour qu’elles atteignent leur plus haute performance exige aussi la manipulation de corrélations photoniques quantiques comme le stockage et le transfert réversible des entités d’une manière cohérente, dans des conditions extrêmement maîtrisées. Le projet prévoit l’exploration et le développement de nouvelles méthodes de détection et d’imagerie quantiques à distance s’appuyant sur le rayonnement quantique dans le domaine optique et celui des hyperfréquences. L’équipe examinera des approches de télédétection quantique et développera des plateformes et systèmes intégrés (sources et détecteurs) pouvant être utilisés dans des applications du futur proche, qui vont de la détection et de la télémétrie par la lumière quantique (LIDAR) et la détection par radar à l’imagerie quantique d’échantillons biologiques.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence.
