A brief ride through the field of quantum imaging –
From Fundamentals towards biomedical application

Exploiting the quantum properties of non-classical states of light enables new possibilities for imaging, spectroscopy, and sensing in general. The talk will focus on quantum imaging using correlated and entangled photon pairs. In addition to the basics such as the generation of photon pairs, an overview of the available techniques in this field will be given. This includes potential fields of application as well as limits of quantum-based technologies. Particular attention will be put to quantum imaging with undetected light. This approach makes it possible to illuminate an object with light that is not detected, while the light that creates the image of the object in the camera has never interacted with the object.
