Abstract

Quantum ghost imaging uses quantum mechanically entangled photons to form an image of an object. The quantum ghost image is also obtained by means of classical coincidence measurements with a classically correlated light source[1,2]. In this work we performed classical coincidence imaging experiments with classically correlated beams in their direction of propagation. We observed the ghost interference patterns which were usually made by quantum mechanically entangled states and we also analyze in detail the mechanism of the ghost imaging with classically correlated lights. We made? the classically correlated source with an Ar laser and controlled the direction of the light by a mirror? mounted on a small speaker.

빛의 양자역학적 성질인 얽힘(entanglement)을 이용한 양자 고스트 이미징(quantum ghost imaging)은 고전적인 동시계수 측정(classical coincidence measurement)에 의해서도 정성적으로 재현됨이 알려져 있다[1,2]. 본 실험에서는 진행방향에서 고전적인 상관관계를 가지는 빛을 이용하여 고전 동시계수 이미징(classical coincidence imaging) 실험을 수행하여 양자역학적 얽힘 상태에서 볼 수 있는 현상들을 관측하고 고스트 이미지가 나오는 원리를 분석하였다. 고전적인 상관관계를 가지는 광원은 아르곤이온 레이저에서 나오는 빛의 경로를 스피커에 부착되어 회전하는 거울에 반사시켜 진행방향에 대해 상관관계를 가지도록 만들어 사용하였다.
