Current Trends and Advances in Quantum Navigation for Maritime Applications: A Comprehensive Review

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in quantum navigation systems, with a specific focus on their application in maritime navigation. Quantum technologies have the potential to revolutionise navigation and positioning systems due to their ability to provide highly accurate and secure information. The review covers the principles of quantum navigation and highlights the latest developments in quantum-enhanced sensors, atomic clocks, and quantum communication protocols. The paper also discusses the challenges and opportunities of using quantum technologies in maritime navigation, including the effects that the maritime environment and the specificity of marine applications can have on the performance of quantum sensors. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion on the future of quantum navigation systems and their potential impact on the maritime industry. This review aims at providing a valuable resource for researchers and engineers interested in the development and deployment of quantum navigation systems.

Quantum differential ghost microscopy

Quantum correlations become formidable tools for beating classical capacities of measurement. Preserving these advantages in practical systems, where experimental imperfections are unavoidable, is a challenge of the utmost importance. Here we propose and realize a quantum ghost imaging protocol able to compensate for the detrimental effect of detection noise and losses. This represents an important improvement as quantum correlations allow low brightness imaging, desirable for reducing the absorption dose. In particular, we develop a comprehensive model starting from a ghost imaging scheme elaborated for bright thermal light, known as differential ghost imaging and particularly suitable in the relevant case of faint or sparse objects. We perform the experiment using SPDC light in microscopic configuration. The image is reconstructed exploiting non-classical intensity correlation rather than photon pairs detection coincidences. On one side we validate the theoretical model and on the other we show the applicability of this technique by reconstructing a biological object with 5 micrometers resolution.
