We formulate a theory of entangled imaging which includes also the case of a large number of photons in the entangled beams. We analyze the problem on the basis of a compact imaging scheme which allows to observe the object or the Fourier transform of the object. It turns out that the results for imaging and the wave-particle duality fesatures, which have been demonstrated in the microscopic case,persist in the macroscopic domain. We discuss both the case of direct intensity detection and the case of homodyne detection.

Abstract
We formulate a theory of entangled imaging which includes also the case of a large number of photons in the entangled beams. We analyze the problem on the basis of a compact imaging scheme which allows to observe the object or the Fourier transform of the object. It turns out that the results for imaging and the wave-particle duality fesatures, which have been demonstrated in the microscopic case,persist in the macroscopic domain. We discuss both the case of direct intensity detection and the case of homodyne detection.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
