Researchers at the University of Ottawa, in collaboration with Danilo Zia and Fabio Sciarrino from the Sapienza University of Rome, recently demonstrated a novel technique that allows the visualization of the wave function of two entangled photons, the elementary particles that constitute light, in real-time.
. For instance, in the shoe example, the"wave function" of the shoe could carry information such as left or right, the size, the color, and so on.
Knowing the wave function of such a quantum system is a challenging task—this is also known as quantum state tomography or quantum tomography in short. With the standard approaches , a full tomography requires large number of measurements that rapidly increases with the system's complexity . In classical optics, however, there is another way to reconstruct a 3D object. This is called digital holography, and is based on recording a, called interferogram, obtained by interfering the light scattered by the object with a reference light.
