A phase-stabilized optical interferometer for extremely high-resolution imaging
Abstract
This project will combine phase stabilization techniques developed by our group for the Square Kilometre Array telescope with recent advances in quantum imaging and quantum key distribution to develop the technologies necessary to realize a quantum imaging interferometer capable of microarcsecond imaging. We will take quantum imaging out of the laboratory and investigate its performance under real-world noise and turbulence conditions. Telescopes based on this technology will provide a new window into the dynamics of our galactic center, star-forming regions, and allow the direct imaging of exo-planets, as well as applications in space domain awareness.
