Abstract

In recent years, quantum information technology, as a subversive and strategic technology that has attracted much attention, acquires, transmits, and processes information by means of unique physical phenomena such as quantum entanglement, nonlocality, and non-cloning. Quantum imaging technology achieves non-local imaging of targets by extracting entangled light quantum information with temporal and spatial correlation characteristics. By using the anti-interference and anti-turbulence characteristics of quantum entangled states, quantum imaging technology can break through the physical limits of traditional imaging fields, thereby improving imaging resolution and sensitivity. The latest technological development in quantum imaging has prompted researchers to study high-resolution and fast quantum imaging based on the spatial correlation characteristics of entangled photon pairs. In this circumstance, we propose a novel quantum imaging method based on two-step adaptive sampling optimization and carry out experimental verification. In concrete terms, in order to solve the problem that the efficiency of entangled light quantum imaging is limited by Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) sampling, we select the two-step adaptive sampling optimization algorithm to reduce the influence of DMD scanning on imaging efficiency. At the same time, for the sake of solving the problem that the quality of entangled photon quantum imaging is limited by the accuracy of coincidence counting, we add delay difference calculation in the imaging process and correct the signal photon arrival time pulse sequence to ensure the accuracy of coincidence counting. Finally, we conduct a large number of experiments to evaluate the performance of the two-step adaptive sampling optimization algorithm and verify the superiority of the proposed entangled quantum imaging method practically.
