摘要
Interference phenomena lead to a wealth of applications in many areas of physics. Entangled quantum states allow one to surpass the classical measurement sensitivity or resolution in polarimetry, interferometry, and imaging. In this paper we shall review, in some depth, polarization properties of quantized two-mode electromagnetic fields and show how interference and quantum entanglement lead to new phenomena. We shall also briefly discuss subwavelength quantum lithography.
