Brian Smith, Professor of Physics at the University of Oregon, will be presenting "Quantum-enhanced interferometric imaging: A step toward quantum-enhanced very-long-baseline interferometry for astronomy" as part of the Quantum Research Institute's fall seminar series from 11am - noon in the Hussey Room (2nd floor) at the Michigan League. A Zoom option is also provided.

Seminar Description:
We report a laboratory demonstration of interferometric imaging using a path-entangled single-photon state as a reference field distributed to spatially separated receivers to measure the spatial distribution of an extended incoherent source. The use of distributed entanglement between the receiving stations in this protocol allows measurements without requiring direct interference of the collected light and provides a route to larger baseline separations that could enhance the precision of astronomical telescopes.
