The polarization state of light is a key parameter in many imaging systems. For example, it can image mechanical stress and other physical properties that are not seen with conventional also play central role quantum sensing. However, more difficult to image, polarimetry typically involves several independent measurements moving parts the measurement device. Metasurfaces interleaved designs have demonstrated sensitivity either linear or circular/elliptical states. Here, we present an...

Super-oscillation is a counterintuitive phenomenon describing localized fast variations of functions and fields that happen at frequencies higher than the highest Fourier component their spectra. The physical implications this effect have been studied in information theory optics classical fields, used super-resolution imaging. As general wave dynamics, super-oscillations also predicted to exist quantum wavefunctions. Here we report experimental demonstration super-oscillatory behavior...

Quantum nonlocality, i.e., the presence of strong correlations in spatially separated systems that are forbidden by local realism, lies at heart quantum communications and computing. Here, we use polarization-entangled photon pairs to demonstrate a nonlocal interaction light with plasmonic structure. Through detection one polarization-sensitive device, can prevent or allow absorption second, remotely located photon. We this entangled photons polarization, which is coupled into plasmon thin...

Quantum entanglement is a key resource that can be exploited for range of applications such as quantum teleportation, computation, and cryptography. However, efforts to exploit in imaging systems have so far led solutions ghost imaging, since found classical implementations. Here, we demonstrate an optical protocol relies uniquely on entanglement: Two polarizing patterns imprinted superimposed metasurface are separately imaged only when using entangled photons. Unentangled light not able...

Two-photon absorption (TPA) fluorescence of biomarkers has been decisive in advancing the fields biosensing and deep-tissue vivo imaging live specimens. However, due to extremely small TPA cross section quadratic dependence on input photon flux, high peak-intensity pulsed lasers are imperative, which can result significant photo- thermal-damage. Previous works entangled (ETPA) with spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) light sources found a linear photon-pair but limited by low...

Second order intensity correlations of speckle illumination are extensively used in imaging applications that require going beyond the Rayleigh limit. The theoretical analysis shows significantly improved can be extracted from study increasingly higher cumulants. We provide experimental evidence by demonstrating resolution what is achievable second correlations. present results up to 20th order. also show an increased visibility cumulant compared moment Our findings clearly suggest benefits...

Quantum nonlocality, i.e. the presence of strong correlations in spatially seperated systems which are forbidden by local realism, lies at heart quantum communications and computing. Here, we use polarization-entangled photon pairs to demonstrate a nonlocal control absorption light plasmonic structure.

We demonstrate that by using squeezed light for two-photon absorption (TPA) of fluorescein biomarkers, a fluorescence enhancement nearly 50 is achieved as compared to conventional TPA coherent light.

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...
