We present theoretical and experimental results on spatial quantum correlations induced by multiple scattering of nonclassical light. A continuous-mode quantum theory is derived that enables determining the spatial quantum correlation function from the fluctuations of the total transmittance and reflectance. Utilizing frequency-resolved quantum noise measurements, we observe that the strength of the spatial quantum correlation function can be controlled by changing the quantum state of an…

Quantum Optical Multiple Scattering
This thesis concerns the theoretical investigation of interference phenomena related to elastic and inelastic scattering of quantized light. The presented work is naturally divided into two parts,…
Transmission of quantum entanglement through a random medium
We study the high-dimensional entanglement of a photon pair transmitted through a random medium. We show that multiple scattering in combination with the subsequent selection of only a fraction of…
Theory of ghost scattering with biphoton states
We show how quantum entangled biphoton states can be used to realize ghost scattering, a nonlocal scheme to obtain scattering information of an unknown object through the correlation measurement of…
Higher order correlation beams in atmosphere under strong turbulence conditions.
TLDR
It is shown that fourth-order correlation functions for correlation beams have, under certain conditions, expressions similar to those of intensities of classical beams and are degraded by turbulence in a similar way as the classical beams.
Second-order interference of chaotic light reflected from random medium
We consider the reflection from a random medium of light with short coherence length. We found that the second order correlation function of light can have a peak in a direction where the reflection…
Scattering of entangled two-photon states.
TLDR
This work considers the scattering of entangled two-photon states from collections of small particles and investigates the influence of the entanglement of the incident field on the entangling of the scattered field.
Single-mode squeezing in arbitrary spatial modes.
TLDR
This experiment presents the generation of single-mode squeezing in Laguerre-Gauss and Bessel- Gauss modes, as well as an arbitrary intensity pattern, all from a single setup using a spatial light modulator (SLM).

Observation of spatial quantum correlations induced by multiple scattering of nonclassical light.
TLDR
The experimental realization of spatial quantum correlations of photons that are induced by multiple scattering of squeezed light are presented, in excellent agreement with recent theoretical proposals by implementing the full quantum model of multiple scattering.
Quantum interference and entanglement induced by multiple scattering of light.
TLDR
It is shown that quantum interference survives averaging over all ensembles of disorder and manifests itself as increased photon correlations due to photon antibunching, and the existence of continuous variable entanglement correlations in a volume speckle pattern is predicted.
Angle-resolved photon-coincidence measurements in a multiple-scattering medium
We present angle-resolved correlation measurements between photons after propagation through a three-dimensional disordered medium. The multiple-scattering process induces photon correlations that…
Spatial quantum correlations in multiple scattered light.
We predict a new spatial quantum correlation in light propagating through a multiple scattering random medium. The correlation depends on the quantum state of the light illuminating the medium, is…
Quantum correlations induced by multiple scattering of quadrature squeezed light.
Propagating quadrature squeezed light through a multiple scattering random medium is found to induce pronounced spatial quantum correlations that have no classical analogue. The correlations are…
Statistical theory of a quantum emitter strongly coupled to Anderson-localized modes.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that by engineering the relevant parameters that define the quality of light confinement, i.e., the light localization length and the loss length, strong coupling between a single quantum dot and an Anderson-localized cavity is within experimental reach.
Probing statistical properties of Anderson localization with quantum emitters
Wave propagation in disordered media can be strongly modified by multiple scattering and wave interference. Ultimately the so-called Anderson-localized regime is reached when the waves become…

TLDR
An experimental study of the propagation of quantum noise in a multiple scattering random medium and the quantum noise observables are found to scale markedly differently with scattering parameters compared to classical noise observable.
