Photon-pair correlations in spontaneous parametric down-conversion are ubiquitous in quantum photonics. The ability to engineer their properties for optimizing a specific task is essential, but often challenging in practice. Researchers in France demonstrated the shaping of spatial correlations between entangled photons in the form of arbitrary amplitude and phase objects. By doing this, they encoded image information within the pair correlations, making it undetectable by conventional intensity measurements. It enabled the transmission of complex, high-dimensional information using quantum correlations of photons, which could be useful for developing quantum communication and imaging protocols… read more.
