Quantum holography based on second-order correlation measurement

The quantum holography scenario with classical thermal light source based on the second-order correlation measurement is proposed. Contrastive analysis prove that the quantum holography can be carried out with classical thermal light source and entangled two-photon light source. For the second-order correlation measurement in quantum holography, the “unbalanced test system” condition must be satisfied.
