Abstract :
Quantum imaging has demonstrated two peculiar features: (1) reproducing "ghost" images in a nonlocal manner, and (2) enhancing spatial resolution of imaging beyond diffraction limit. Both surprises come from the superposition of two-photon amplitudes, a non-classical entity corresponding to different yet indistinguishable alternative ways of triggering a joint photo-detection event.
