Ghost imaging (GI) is an imaging technique that uses the second-order correlation between two light beams to obtain the image of an object. However, standard GI is affected by optical background noise, which reduces its practical use. We…

Indistinguishable quantum states interfere, but the mere possibility of obtaining information that could distinguish between overlapping states inhibits quantum interference. Quantum interference imaging can outperform classical imaging or…

Artificial intelligence has recently been widely used in computational imaging. The deep neural network (DNN) improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the retrieved images, whose quality is otherwise corrupted due to the low sampling ratio or…
