About this Research Topic
The study of quantum light for imaging, sensing and spectroscopy is a timely and exciting research field at the forefront of physics and technology. It has the potential to impact many areas of science and engineering, especially when high resolution imaging and parameter estimation with low photon flux is mandatory to avoid damage to the sample. Given the increasing number of scientists devoting efforts to implementing quantum-technologies, we believe that frontiers in physics is the ideal platform through which all these people can connect and exchange new ideas. Through this Research Topic, we intend to advance our understanding of quantum light, aiming at the development of novel applications and technologies of potentially high impact.
Research articles, review articles as well as brief research reports are invited. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Quantum light for imaging applications (including advances in microwave and terahertz imaging, ghost imaging, microscopy, nonlinear interferometers, and optical coherence tomography)
- Quantum sensing for out-of-the-lab applications
- Quantum-enhanced spectroscopy
- Quantum enabling technologies (light sources, detectors)
- Quantum nanophotonics and plasmonics for sensing and spectroscopy
- Quantum theory of quantum light-matter interactions
Keywords: Non-classical light sources; Quantum technologies; Quantum imaging; Quantum-enhanced spectroscopy; Quantum sensing
