• Abstract: In this work a quantum imaging setup based on undetected squeezed photons is employed for metrological applications such as sensitive phase measurement and quantum imaging. In spite of the traditional quantum imaging with undetected photons, introduced by A. Zeilinger et. al, the proposed setup is equipped by a homodyne detection and also the brightness of the quantum light is enhanced by an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Introducing OPO may be diminish the validity of the low gain approximation, so a theoretical approach beyond this approximation is introduced. Due to the resource of squeezing, the results reveal the higher amount of signal to noise ratio, as a measure of image quality and phase-measurement accuracy. Accordingly, an imaging protocol is introduced to suppress the background noises, effectively. Interestingly, This protocol provides a way to extract the image information which is encoded in the quantum fluctuation (noise). Therefore, non-disruptive imaging is achievable, which is noteworthy subject in the field of bio-imaging of sensitive and low damage threshold living cells.

  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features. Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.

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.

  Fundamental understanding of biological pathways requires minimally invasive nanoscopic optical resolution imaging. Many approaches to high-resolution imaging rely on localization of single emitters, such as fluorescent molecule or quantum dot. We show that quantum measurements of the number of photons emitted from an ensemble of emitters enable the determination of the number of emitters and the probability of emission.
