Plasmonics and metamaterials have recently been shown to allow the control interaction with non-classical states of light, a rather counterintuitive finding given high losses typically encountered in these systems. Here, we demonstrate range functionalities that are allowed correlated entangled photons used illuminate multiple, overlaid patterns on plasmonic metasurfaces. Correlated nonlocally determine pattern is imaged or, alternatively un-scramble an image otherwise blurred. Entangled more important functionality whereby images imprinted metasurface individually visible only when illuminated one photons. single photon imaging functional metasurfaces could therefore promise advances towards use nanostructured subwavelength thin devices quantum information protocols.
