Theoretical Quantum Imaging and Tomography

这是一个博士研究项目，旨在开发基于Hong-Ou-Mandel干涉测量的新型成像技术，利用非经典光源和新一代单光子计数相机的独特能力。该项目将伴随并支持相关的实验工作。特别是，这个博士项目将致力于将信息理论概念转化为尖端量子光学实验的蓝图。这将涉及建立在参数估计工具（例如cram<s:1> - rao边界和Fisher信息）上的信息理论方法，以制定单光子水平的量子成像的新方法和协议，包括深度和飞行时间成像的方法。该博士项目旨在从每个光子与“样品”的每次相互作用中提取理论上最大数量的可用信息，可能会产生新的量子传感技术的实际建议，在生物成像和材料研究中具有潜在的用途。

This is a PhD research project in developing novel imaging technique based on Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry, exploiting both non-classical sources of light as well as the unique abilities of new-generation single photon counting cameras. The project will be accompanying, and supporting related experimental efforts. In particular, this PhD project will aim to translate information theoretic concepts into blueprints for cutting-edge quantum optics experiments. This will involve information theoretical approaches building on the tools of parameter estimation (e.g. the Cramér-Rao bound and Fisher information) to formulate new approaches and protocols for quantum imaging at the level of single photons, including approaches to depth and time-of-flight imaging. Aiming to extract the theoretically maximal amount of information available per interaction of each photon with "the sample", this PhD project could result in practical proposals for novel quantum sensing techniques with potential use in bio-imaging and materials research.
