Robin Kaiser (Université Cote D'Azur)

Description

In this talk, I will give an introduction to intensity correlations for astrophysical imaging,
as pioneered by Hanbury Brown and Twiss. This triggered a wider effort for the field of quantum optics, which I will put into a larger context beyond astrophysical imaging. I will also give an overview of the past results on intensity correlations for astrophysical imaging by our group in Nice and present the ongoing effort towards resolving a white dwarf and to search for signatures of random lasing in space.
