We show that a noninvasive,``negative-result measurement'' can be realized in quantum dot systems. The measurement process is studied by applying the Schr\"odinger equation to the whole system (including the detector). We demonstrate that…

Infrared (IR) imaging is invaluable across many scientific disciplines, from material analysis to diagnostic medicine. However, applications are often limited by detector cost, resolution and sensitivity, noise caused by the thermal IR…

We investigate the extent to which ``interaction-free'' measurements perturb the state of quantum systems. We show that the absence of energy exchange during the measurement is not a sufficient criterion to preserve that state, as the…

Quantum sensing with undetected photons is a technique where photons of one wavelength probe a sample, but information is extracted by measuring photons of another wavelength that never interacts with the sample. This has seen significant…

We describe a detector that measures the mutual coherence of two optical fields directly using quantum interference, free from photon noise of the individual irradiances. Our approach utilizes Raman transition in an atomic system where the…
