abstract

We demonstrate the preservation of time-energy entanglement of near-IR photons through thick biological media ($\leq$1.55 mm) and tissue ($\leq$ 235 $\mu$m) at room temperature. Using a Franson-type interferometer, we demonstrate interferometric contrast of over 0.9 in skim milk, 2% milk, and chicken tissue. This work supports the many proposed opportunities for nonclassical light in biological imaging and analyses from sub-shot noise measurements to entanglement-enhanced fluorescence imaging, clearly indicating that the entanglement characteristics of photons can be maintained even after propagation through thick, turbid biological samples.
