This edition features Ron Meyers, Army Research Laboratory physicist, will discussing a new way of seeing objects that were once hidden from sight. He and his team are credited in taking quantum ghost imaging from a physics curiosity and making it a discipline with many applications. Through computing the quantum effect of objects, this "ghost image" has the ability to appear not by actually seeing it, but by calculating the light patterns coming from it. Using virtually any light source from a fluorescent bulb, lasers or even the sun, quantum ghost imaging can give a clearer depiction of objects by eliminating atmospheric conditions that conventional imaging can't. This revolutionary basic research is only at the tip of its iceberg, and Meyers and his quantum team are working to move it into tangible applications. Its uses could possibly range from satellite imaging, x-ray imaging with less radiation, biometrics and other defense applications.
