• Abstract summary: Imaging based on the induced coherence effect makes use of photon pairs to obtain information of an object without detecting the light that probes it. We show that our scheme can generate a high-quality image of an object even against noise levels up to 250 times the actual signal of interest.

• Abstract: Imaging based on the induced coherence effect makes use of photon pairs to obtain information of an object without detecting the light that probes it. While one photon illuminates the object, only its partner is detected, so no measurement of coincidence events are needed. The sought-after object's information is revealed observing a certain interference pattern on the detected photon. Here we demonstrate experimentally that this imaging technique can be made resilient to noise. We introduce an imaging distillation approach based on the interferometric modulation of the signal of interest. We show that our scheme can generate a high-quality image of an object even against noise levels up to 250 times the actual signal of interest. We also include a detailed theoretical explanation of our findings.

  We build a quantum induced coherence (QuIC) LiDAR without directly detecting the photons reflected from the object. The reflected photons are used to erase the which-way information of its entangled partners. This method paves a new way of battling noise in precise quantum electromagnetic sensing and ranging.

  Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

• Quantum imaging and metrology with undetected photons: a tutorial [0.0]
  We present a tutorial on the phenomenon of induced coherence without induced emission. It is based on a striking effect where two nonlinear crystals, by sharing a coherent pump and one of two output beams each, can induce correlations between the other two individual, non-interacting beams. This can be thought of as a type of quantum-erasure effect, where the welcher-weg'' (which-way) or in this case which-source'' information is erased when the shared beams are aligned.

Our results show that single-photon entanglement may constitute a promising solution to generate genuine network-nonlocal correlations useful for Bell-based quantum information protocols.

  We investigate, in a four photon interference experiment in a laser-written waveguide structure, how symmetries control the suppression of many-body output events of a $J_x$ unitary. We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.

  We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial. We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths. In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
