Abstract

Multiple scattering of light is an interdisciplinary research field that connects traditionally remote areas such as optical communication or biomedical imaging to fundamental physics studies of Anderson localization of light. In most work on multiple scattering a classical description of both light and matter is sufficient. In contrast, quantum optics studies of multiple scattering, where light is quantized, have only been initiated recently. A surprisingly rich variety of new phenomena is encountered in the quantum optics theory, including the identification of spatial [1] and frequency [2] quantum correlations induced by multiple scattering of Fock states.
