Key points

  • Ghost imaging relies on optical correlations for image acquisition.
  • An image can be formed by combining information from two detectors, even if each detector's data is insufficient alone.
  • The review covers both quantum and classical ghost imaging methods.
  • Potential practical applications of these techniques are discussed.

Abstract

Abstract Ghost imaging uses optical correlations to enable an alternative and intriguing image acquisition technique: even though information from either one of the detectors used for the acquisition does not yield an image, an image can be obtained by harnessing the optical correlations. This Review describes a variety of both quantum and classical ghost imaging techniques, and seeks to point out where these techniques may have practical applications.
