• Authors: Silvia Cassina, Gabriele Cenedese, Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani,
• Abstract summary: Correlated states of light, both classical and quantum, can find useful applications in the implementation of several imaging techniques. Among the employed sources, pseudo-thermal states, generated by the passage of a laser beam through a diffuser, represent the standard choice. To produce light with a higher level of correlation, in this work we consider and characterize the speckled-speckle field obtained with two diffusers using both a numerical simulation and an experimental implementation.

• Abstract: Correlated states of light, both classical and quantum, can find useful applications in the implementation of several imaging techniques. Among the employed sources, pseudo-thermal states, generated by the passage of a laser beam through a diffuser, represent the standard choice. To produce light with a higher level of correlation, in this work we consider and characterize the speckled-speckle field obtained with two diffusers using both a numerical simulation and an experimental implementation. In order to discuss the potential usefulness of super-thermal light in imaging protocols, we analyze the behavior of some figures of merit, namely the contrast, the signal-to-noise ratio and the image resolution. The obtained results clarify the possible advantages offered by this kind of light, and at the same time better emphasize the reasons why it does not outperform pseudo-thermal light.

• Imperfect photon detection in quantum illumination [0.0]
  In quantum illumination, various detection schemes have been proposed for harnessing remaining quantum correlations of the entanglement-based resource state. We investigate the performance of this scheme for realistic detection parameters in terms of detection efficiency, dark count probability, and photon number resolution. We find that the requirements for photon number resolution in the two mixer outputs are highly asymmetric due to different associated photon number expectation values.

  We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

  Non-Gaussian states of an optical field are important as a proposed resource in quantum information applications. We propose a novel approach involving displacement of the ancilla field into the regime where mesoscopic detectors can be used. We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.

  We simulate an experiment that uses a multiplexed single-photon source based on pair generation by continuous spontaneous parametric down conversion. With such source, the sub-Poissonian statistics of the output signal is the key for achieving sub-shot-noise performance. Results show that sub-shot-noise performance can be achieved, even without using number-resolving detectors.
