We review the advancement of the research toward the design and implementation of quantum plenoptic cameras, radically novel 3D imaging devices that exploit both momentum–position entanglement and photon–number correlations to provide the typical refocusing and ultra-fast, scanning-free, 3D imaging capability of plenoptic devices, along with dramatically enhanced performances, unattainable in standard plenoptic cameras: diffraction-limited resolution, large depth of focus, and ultra-low noise. To further increase the volumetric resolution beyond the Rayleigh diffraction limit, and achieve the quantum limit, we are also developing dedicated protocols based on quantum Fisher information. However, for the quantum advantages of the proposed devices to be effective and appealing to end-users, two main challenges need to be tackled. First, due to the large number of frames required for correlation measurements to provide an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, quantum plenoptic imaging (QPI) would require, if implemented with commercially available high-resolution cameras, acquisition times ranging from tens of seconds to a few minutes. Second, the elaboration of this large amount of data, in order to retrieve 3D images or refocusing 2D images, requires high-performance and time-consuming computation. To address these challenges, we are developing high-resolution single-photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) arrays and high-performance low-level programming of ultra-fast electronics, combined with compressive sensing and quantum tomography algorithms, with the aim to reduce both the acquisition and the elaboration time by two orders of magnitude. Routes toward exploitation of the QPI devices will also be discussed.

In recent years, consumer electronics became increasingly location and context-aware. Novel applications, such as augmented and virtual reality have high demands in precision, latency and update rate in their tracking solutions. 3D imaging systems have seen a rapid development in the past years. By enabling a manifold of systems to become location and context-aware, 3D imaging has the potential to become a part of everyone's daily life. In this chapter, we discuss 3D imaging technologies and their applications in localization, tracking and 3D context determination. Current technologies and key concepts are depicted and open issues are investigated. The novel concept of location-aware optical communication based on Time-of-Flight depth sensors is introduced. This communication method might close the gap between high performance tracking and localization. The chapter finally provides an outlook on future concepts and work-in progress technologies, which might introduce a new set of paradigms for location-aware cyber-physical systems in the Internet of Things.
