Abstract :
In order to accurately describe optical images, the quantum nature of light must be taken into account, even when the image is formed of a great number of photons. On the one hand, the inevitable quantum fluctuations of light degrade the quality of the image, but on the other hand, the possibility of creating strong quantum correlations or even entanglement between the different points open new possibilities for improving information extraction and read-out from the image.
