Abstract

Quantum ghost imaging is a nonlocal imaging technique in which the image or diffraction pattern of an object illuminated by photon pairs can be observed through the correlation measurement. This study theoretically demonstrates the cloaking effect of such a quantum imaging. Quantum ghost imaging completely offsets two objects that are placed at proper positions in the interferometer. Furthermore, illusion of quantum imaging, where an object transforms into another object, has also been observed. This phenomenon can be understood by quantum interferences in the correlation measurement.
