Invited talk

In this talk, I will give an introduction to intensity correlations for astrophysical imaging, as pionneered 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 give an overview of the past results on intensity correlations for astrophysical imaging and mention the ongoing...

Invited talk

Abstract: Over the past decade, significant advances in instrumentation technology have led to new astronomical capabilities and increased sensitivity in the emerging field of Stellar Intensity Interferometry (SII). The rapid emergence of SII has been made possible by the convergence of the availability of inexpensive GHz sampling digitizers, White Rabbit sub-nsec clock distribution over km...
