Abstract
Quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) makes use of an entangled-photon light source to carry out dispersion-immune axial optical sectioning. We present the first experimental QOCT images of a biological sample: an onion-skin tissue coated with gold nanoparticles. 3D images are presented in the form of 2D sections of different orientations. In the context of quantum information, this represents the first experiment in which a quantum-entangled entity interacts with a biological specimen, generating a collection of quantum interferograms, from which an image is constructed.
