Nonlocal dispersion cancellation is generalized to frequency-entangled states with large photon number N. We show that the same entangled states can simultaneously exhibit a factor of 1/sqrt(N) reduction in noise below the classical shot…

The state of a two-particle system is called entangled when its quantum mechanical wave function cannot be factorized in two single-particle wave functions. Entanglement leads to the strongest counter-intuitive feature of quantum mechanics,…
We show that a recently discussed apparatus for aberration-cancelled interferometry may be modified to perform correlated-photon imaging in the so-called "ghost" imaging configuration. For objects in the vicinity of a particular plane, the…
The optics of any camera degrades the sharpness of photographs, which is a key visual quality criterion. This degradation is characterized by the point-spread function (PSF), which depends on the wavelengths of light and is variable across…
Phase aberration is an inherent side effect of ultrasound imaging due to the speed of sound inhomogeneity nature of human tissues, resulting in focusing error and reduced image contrast. This work introduces a phase aberration correction…

Spontaneous photon scattering by an atomic qubit is a notable example of environment-induced error and is a fundamental limit to the fidelity of quantum operations. In the scattering process the qubit loses its distinctive and coherent…
