Article Abstract
Quantum image distillation aims to extract the signal image from a mixture of the signal and noise images that are indistinguishable in terms of spectrum and polarization, a process that is unachievable with classical methods. However, in contrast to the amplitude image, phase distillation is challenging via direct spatial or temporal correlation of photon pairs. Incorporating with the polarization entanglement of photon pairs, it is demonstrated here that the phase signal can be quickly distilled by using an integrated computing metasurface to solve the Poisson equation. The proposed technique remains robust even with noise levels two orders higher than the signal, with potential applications in quantum communication and cryptography. Based on the present scheme, it also enables the measurement of photon wave function and the achievement of noninterferometric quantum-enhanced quantitative phase imaging. Our work involving the integrated-metasurface analogue computing paves the way for advancing efficient and rapid quantum information and image processing.

Under-display camera (UDC) systems enable full-screen displays in smartphones by embedding the camera beneath the display panel, eliminating the need for notches or punch holes. However, the periodic pixel structures of display panels introduce significant optical diffraction effects, leading to imaging artifacts and degraded visual quality. Conventional approaches to mitigate these distortions, such as deep learning-based image reconstruction, are often computationally expensive and unsuitable for real-time applications in consumer electronics.

Phased arrays are crucial in various technologies, such as radar and wireless communications, due to their ability to precisely control and steer electromagnetic waves. This precise control improves signal processing and enhances imaging performance. However, extending phased arrays to the terahertz (THz) frequency range has proven challenging, especially for high-frequency operation, broadband performance, two-dimensional (2D) phase control with large antenna arrays, and flexible phase modulation.

Phonon polaritons─quasiparticles formed by coupling infrared (IR) photons with optical phonons in polar materials─enable highly confined light-matter interactions with lower losses than those of plasmonic systems. Although they have been successfully exploited for enhanced mid-IR chemical sensing in solid- and liquid-phase environments, their application in gas-phase detection remains largely underexplored. Here, we introduce a low-loss phonon polariton platform based on planar Pd/SiC heterostructures and nanostructured Pd/SiC metasurfaces for enhanced mid-IR gas detection.

While recent advances in reconfigurable photonics have provided new avenues for manipulating light on the subwavelength scale, on-demand control of infrared absorption remains elusive. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a plasmonic metasurface based on the phase change material GeSbTe with in situ electrically switchable absorption in the 3 - 5 μm wavelength range. Unlike traditional infrared microstructures based on volatile phase-change materials, our device does not require continuous application of external stimuli to maintain its optical state, thus enabling zero static power operation.

This study presents a convex optimization framework for beam synthesis in Square Kilometre Array low-frequency radio telescope stations configured in a sunflower-like layout. The method minimizes the peak sidelobe level by computing an optimized set of beamforming weights, enabling precise control of the main beam while preserving angular resolution. The framework is validated through full-wave electromagnetic simulations based on detailed physical models of the antenna elements and station geometry.
