Abstract:
Over the past 20 years bright
sources of entangled photons have
lead to a renaissance in quantum
optical interferometry. These
photon sources have been used to
test the foundations of quantum
mechanics and implement some of
the spooky ideas associated with
quantum entanglement such as
quantum teleportation, quantum
cryptography, quantum lithography,
quantum computing logicgates, and
sub-shot-noise optical
interferometers. I will discuss some
of these advances and the
unification of optical quantum
imaging, metrology, and
information processing.
