The resolution of a conventional imaging system based on first-order field correlation can be directly obtained from the optical transfer function. However, it is challenging to determine the resolution of an imaging system through random media, including imaging through scattering media and imaging through randomly inhomogeneous media, since the point-to-point correspondence between the object and the image plane in these systems cannot be established by the first-order field correlation anymore. In this paper, from the perspective of ghost imaging, we demonstrate for the first time to our knowledge that the point-to-point correspondence in these imaging systems can be quantitatively recovered from the high-order correlation of light fields, and the imaging capability, such as resolution, of such imaging schemes can thus be derived by analyzing high-order correlation of the optical transfer function. Based on this theoretical analysis, we propose a lensless Wiener-Khinchin telescope based on high-order spatial autocorrelation of thermal light, which can acquire the image of an object by a snapshot via using a spatial random phase modulator. As an incoherent imaging approach illuminated by thermal light, lensless Wiener-Khinchin telescope can be applied in many fields such as X-ray astronomical observations.

The classical Wiener-Khinchin theorem (WKT), which can extract spectral information by classical interferometers through Fourier transform, is a fundamental theorem used in many disciplines. However, there is still need for a quantum version of WKT,
which could connect correlated biphoton spectral information by quantum interferometers. Here, we extend the classical WKT to its quantum counterpart, i.e., extended WKT (e-WKT), which is based on two-photon quantum interferometry. According to the e-WKT, the difference-frequency distribution of the biphoton wavefunctions can be extracted by applying a Fourier transform on the time-domain Hong-Ou-Mandel interference (HOMI) patterns, while the sum-frequency distribution can be extracted by applying a Fourier transform on the time-domain NOON state interference (NOONI) patterns. We also experimentally verified the WKT and e-WKT in a Mach-Zehnder interference (MZI), a HOMI and a NOONI. This theorem can be directly applied to quantum spectroscopy, where the spectral correlation information of biphotons can be obtained from time-domain quantum interferences by Fourier transform. This may open a new pathway for the study of light-matter interaction at the single photon level.
Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are devices for modulating amplitude, phase or polarization of a light beam on demand. Such devices have been playing an indispensable inuence in many areas from our daily entertainments to scientific researches. In th
e past decades, the SLMs have been mainly operated in electrical addressing (EASLM) manner, wherein the writing images are created and loaded via conventional electronic interfaces. However, adoption of pixelated electrodes puts limits on both resolution and efficiency of the EASLMs. Here, we present an optically addressed SLM based on a nonlinear metasurface (MS-OASLM), by which signal light is directly modulated by another writing beam requiring no electrode. The MS-OASLM shows unprecedented compactness and is 400 nm in total thickness benefitting from the outstanding nonlinearity of the metasurface. And their subwavelength feature size enables a high resolution up to 250 line pairs per millimeter, which is more than one order of magnitude better than any currently commercial SLMs. Such MS-OASLMs could provide opportunities to develop the next generation of high resolution displays and all-optical information processing technologies.
Distinguishing between strings of data or waveforms is at the core of multiple applications in information technologies. In a quantum language the task is to design protocols to differentiate quantum states. Quantum-based technologies promises to go
beyond the capabilities offered by technologies based on classical principles. However the implementation of the logical gates that are the core of these systems is challenging since they should overcome quantum decoherence, low probability of success and are prone to errors. One unexpected contribution of considering ideas in the quantum world is to inspire similar solutions in the classical world (quantum-inspired technologies), protocols that aim at mimicking particular features of quantum algorithms. This is based on features of quantum physics also shared by waves in the classical world, such it is the case of interference or entanglement between degrees of freedom of a single particle. Here we demonstrate in a proof-of-concept experiment a new type of quantum-inspired protocol based on the idea of quantum fingerprinting (Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 167902, 2001). Information is encoded on optical beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM). These beams allow to implement a crucial element of our system, a new type of Fredkin gate or polarization-controlled SWAP operation that exchange data between OAM beams. The protocols can evaluate the similarity between pairs of waveforms and strings of bits and quarts without unveiling the information content of the data.
Optical implementation of artificial neural networks has been attracting great attention due to its potential in parallel computation at speed of light. Although all-optical deep neural networks (AODNNs) with a few neurons have been experimentally de
monstrated with acceptable errors recently, the feasibility of large scale AODNNs remains unknown because error might accumulate inevitably with increasing number of neurons and connections. Here, we demonstrate a scalable AODNN with programmable linear operations and tunable nonlinear activation functions. We verify its scalability by measuring and analyzing errors propagating from a single neuron to the entire network. The feasibility of AODNNs is further confirmed by recognizing handwritten digits and fashions respectively.
Physical or geographic location proves to be an important feature in many data science models, because many diverse natural and social phenomenon have a spatial component. Spatial autocorrelation measures the extent to which locally adjacent observat
ions of the same phenomenon are correlated. Although statistics like Morans $I$ and Gearys $C$ are widely used to measure spatial autocorrelation, they are slow: all popular methods run in $Omega(n^2)$ time, rendering them unusable for large data sets, or long time-courses with moderate numbers of points. We propose a new $S_A$ statistic based on the notion that the variance observed when merging pairs of nearby clusters should increase slowly for spatially autocorrelated variables. We give a linear-time algorithm to calculate $S_A$ for a variable with an input agglomeration order (available at https://github.com/aamgalan/spatial_autocorrelation). For a typical dataset of $n approx 63,000$ points, our $S_A$ autocorrelation measure can be computed in 1 second, versus 2 hours or more for Morans $I$ and Gearys $C$. Through simulation studies, we demonstrate that $S_A$ identifies spatial correlations in variables generated with spatially-dependent model half an order of magnitude earlier than either Morans $I$ or Gearys $C$. Finally, we prove several theoretical properties of $S_A$: namely that it behaves as a true correlation statistic, and is invariant under addition or multiplication by a constant.
