This is a PhD research project in Physics, examining a number of aspects of single-photon imaging and related aspects of quantum communication. There is considerable interest in the use of sparse single-photon and three dimensional imaging, which may ultimately use the effects of quantum entanglement. Such developments will necessarily require fast timing of the single-photon detection, which will permit effective, eye-safe time-of-flight based depth profiling at remote distances. The effects of quantum entanglement could be utilised effectively in critical niche examples, such as sub-Rayleigh imaging, wavelength transmutation or quantum secure imaging. These revolutionary changes in imaging technology represent a paradigm shift in terms of functionality, but present a significant challenges in developing bespoke algorithms to extract maximum information from this necessarily sparse data, as well requirements for data fusion with other imaging platforms, for example multispectral and regular video. This PhD will examine a number of aspects if new imaging approaches, including the use of novel detector technologies, new optical configurations and use of optimized signal processing algorithms.

这是一个物理学博士研究项目，研究单光子成像的一些方面和量子通信的相关方面。在使用稀疏单光子和三维成像方面有相当大的兴趣，这可能最终使用量子纠缠的效应。这种发展必然需要单光子探测的快速定时，这将允许在远程进行有效的、人眼安全的基于飞行时间的深度剖面分析。量子纠缠的影响可以有效地利用在关键利基的例子，如亚瑞利成像，波长嬗变或量子安全成像。成像技术的这些革命性变化代表了功能方面的范式转变，但在开发定制算法以从这种必然稀疏的数据中提取最大信息方面存在重大挑战，以及与其他成像平台（例如多光谱和常规视频）进行数据融合的要求。这个博士将研究一些方面，如果新的成像方法，包括使用新的探测器技术，新的光学配置和使用优化的信号处理算法。
