Summary
The goal of this proposal is to demonstrate a new sensing technique called “Quantum stimulated Raman spectroscopy” (QSRS) that is extremely sensitive to vibrational resonances in materials, providing a unique “fingerprint” that can distinguish materials. The key innovation behind QSRS is the use of entangled photons (single light particles) as the probing source; calculations suggest that the correlations from entanglement makes QSRS more than a trillion times more sensitive than classical measurements. In addition to this unprecedented enhancement, QSRS measurements are sensitive to quantum e
