Nell’ambito del programma FNIP (Fluorescence neuro-imaging and Photonics) organizzato in collaborazione tra Dipartimento di Scienze Biomediche e di Fisica, vi invitiamo a partecipare al prossimo webinar “Quantum imaging: from quantum illumination to quantum hypothesis testing“, fissato per giovedì 20 aprile alle 14:15 on-line. Durante il webinar, interverranno il Prof. Daniele Faccio (GLA, UK), il Dr. Oleg Varnavski (UMICH, US) e il Dr. Giuseppe Ortolano (INRiM, IT), per guidarvi attraverso la loro ricerca che studia e sfrutta alcuni fenomeni quantistici, ad esempio concernenti coppie di fotoni correlati quantisticamente (“entangled”) e la loro interferenza, per l’imaging e la microscopia.
Le loro soluzioni tecnologiche, che includono interferometri Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM), microscopi a due fotoni e protocolli di Quantum Reading (QR), mirano ad acquisire misure di fenomeni cellulari in-vivo che non sarebbero registrabili allo stesso modo utilizzando un approccio classico, ottenendo per esempio una misura dei tempi di decadimento della fluorescenza con risoluzioni del picosecondo, un’intensità di illuminazione del campione ordini di grandezza inferiore a quella tipicamente utilizzata nella microscopia classica a due fotoni, o un miglioramento del rapporto segnale rumore nella lettura quantistica di dati o immagini classici.
Il webinar mira a rispondere ad alcune domande chiave relative al quantum imaging: è possibile un approccio di imaging label-free a basse illuminazioni del campione? È possibile una microscopia a due fotoni con intensità luminose di ordine di grandezza analogo a quelle usate in microscopia confocale? L’entanglement quantistico può migliorare la lettura di informazioni, anche risolte spazialmente e temporalmente, utilizzando semplici sistemi ottici?

Ruffato, Prof. S. Luin, Prof. G. Ratto Click to download calendar invitation Giuseppe Ortolano is a researcher at the Quantum Optics group at INRiM, with a research grant on the study of quantum techniques to improve classical schemes. He got his Master degree in “Physics of complex Systems” from the University of Turin in 2019. He did his PhD in Physics at Politecnico di Torino. His main research interest is quantum information and quantum optics. In his research work he have treated different problems in quantum metrology and quantum hypothesis testing, both theoretically and experimentally. Daniele Faccio is a Royal Academy Chair in Emerging Technologies, Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and Cavaliere dell’Ordine della Stella d’Italia (Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy). He joined the University of Glasgow in 2017 as Professor in Quantum Technologies where he leads the Extreme-Light group and is Director of Research for the School of Physics and Astronomy. He is also adjunct professor at the University of Arizona, Tucson (USA) and fellow of the Optical Society of America. Previously he was at Heriot-Watt University and University of Insubria (Italy). He has been visiting scientist at MIT (USA), Marie-Curie fellow at ICFO, Barcelona (Spain) and EU-ERC fellow 2012-2017. He was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Physics in 2015, the Royal Society of Edinburgh Senior Public Engagement medal and the Royal Society Wolfson Merit Award in 2017. He worked in the optical telecommunications industry for four years before obtaining his PhD in Physics in 2007 at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France). His research, funded by the UK research council EPSRC, DSTL, The Leverhulme Trust, the EU Quantum Flagship program and the Royal Academy of Engineering, focuses on the physics of light, on how we harness light to answer fundamental questions and on how we harness light to improve society. Oleg Varnavski received Master of Science from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1974 and his Ph.D. from the P.N. Lebedev Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences in 1984. He received Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Germany) and worked at Stuttgart University in 1986 and 1990. Dr. Varnavski joined the research group of Professor Goodson at Wayne State University (Detroit, USA) in 1999. He is currently a research scientist at Chemistry Department of the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, USA). His research interests include ultrafast photodynamics in organic materials, energy transfer processes in complex macromolecules (coherent and incoherent), in nanoscale metal and semiconductor systems, nonlinear optics and spectroscopy, quantum optics, specifically quantum entangled photons for spectroscopy and imaging.
