Quantic investigators Professor Miles Padgett and Professor Daniele Faccio recently presented at the Quantum Imaging Paris Symposium which focused on quantum imaging and multimode quantum optics.

The event, which took place in Sorbonne University on 15th of June, brought together leading researchers in quantum imaging with over 120 post-doctoral, PhD and master students.

Professor Padgett gave an overview of his team’s work on the Single-Fibre Endoscope, a device to video through a fibre the size of a human hair to enable minimally invasive and covert 3D imaging.

Professor Faccio discussed the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect which demonstrates the perfect entanglement of two photons with the potential to develop advanced forms of microscopy for use in medical research and diagnostics.

The Symposium was organised by Quantum Imaging Paris, an experimental quantum optics group in the Paris Institute of Nanosciences at Sorbonne University. The team explores and harnesses quantum properties of light for applications in imaging and information processing.
