Description:
Remote quantum sensing is one of the emerging technologies that exploit photonic quantum correlations for detecting, probing and imaging classical objects with fundamentally better performance than traditional approaches. The state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental studies in the field mainly focus on the generation and measurement of such quantum correlations under very specific and controlled conditions that can reveal the quantum advantage. However, the practical realization of these technologies with their ultimate performance also requires the manipulation of photonic quantum correlations, such as storage and reversible transfer between the entities, in a highly controlled and coherent fashion. In the Project, our goal is to explore and develop new methods of remote quantum sensing/imaging relying on quantum radiation in both the optical and microwave domains. The project team will explore different quantum remote sensing approaches and develop integrated platforms and systems (sources and detectors) that can find use in near-future applications, ranging from quantum Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) & Radar-based sensing to quantum imaging of biological samples.
