Picture a camera designed to capture images with a resolution of a single photon at 24,000 frames per second. Thanks to an electronic shutter that can stay open for only 3.8ns and that can be synchronized with fast laser pulses with a duration of only a few picoseconds, one can literally see light propagating through space. With this capability, new applications open up such as quantum vision, ghost imaging, sub-shot-noise imaging, quantum LiDAR, and quantum distillation, to name a few.
