Abstract

Quantum ghost imaging is an alternative imaging technique which utilises pairs of entangled photons to reconstruct an image. Due to the scanning nature of spatially resolving detectors and the inherent low light levels of quantum experiments, imaging speeds are inefficient and scale quadratically with the required resolution. We leveraged artificial intelligence capabilities to achieve early object recognition and to super-resolve the reconstructed image. We achieved a 5x reduction in image acquisition times and super-resolved the images to a resolution 4x greater than the measured resolution. Leading to efficient image acquisition times without losing fine details of the image.
