TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of quantum and biological imaging, and particularly relates to an oral biological imaging device based on quantum entanglement phase. BACKGROUND
[0002] Measurement is a basic means of observing natural phenomena, including length, direction, macro / micro world observation, etc. Optical microscopy, as a typical measurement device for exploring microstructure, has important significance in the fields of biology, medicine and material science. It can observe microstructures that cannot be seen by the naked eye and reveal a new micro world. However, with the progress of research on the micro world, especially in exploring the complexity of cell and molecular systems, such as oral histopathological sections, periodontal membrane cells, etc., traditional optical microscopy technology has encountered many challenges, such as resolution limit caused by diffraction limit, image quality degradation caused by light scattering and absorption, etc. In addition, many pathological sections or cells need to be stained or fluorescently labeled due to their colorless or low contrast, and high-intensity light irradiation can even cause photo-damage and photo-bleaching of biological samples. Therefore, it is still a great challenge for optical microscopy research to achieve high-quality imaging of transparent samples using low-intensity light irradiation while maintaining high spatial resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio.
[0003] Quantum information science (QIS) combines the principles of quantum physics and information science, and has great potential for progress in the fields of communication, computation and precision measurement. Quantum entanglement, as a unique and important resource in QIS, can ensure the security of quantum communication, enhance the parallel processing capability of quantum computation, and improve the accuracy of quantum metrology. Therefore, introducing quantum entanglement characteristics into optical microscopy technology is a promising way to improve imaging performance. Based on quantum entanglement / correlation, a number of quantum imaging schemes have been developed, including quantum ghost imaging, quantum interference imaging and non-probing photon imaging, etc. However, these schemes mainly involve the temporal correlation characteristics of entangled photon pairs, and do not involve the phase information of entangled photon pairs.
