Cover Story: Detection and recognition of enantiomers in biological and chemical samples represents a complex and delicate procedure meaningful for a wide variety of fields, encompassing purely industrial applications for pharmaceutical chemistry as well as fundamental biological research for extraterrestrial life.
To address this task we proposed, calibrated and tested a high sensitivity optical birefringence sensor based on a heralded photon source, suitable both for fragile biological samples and for low-intensity optical metrology. Since it operates in the telecom range, the devised sensor represents an innovative step towards fiber-cabled portable twin-photon source-based quantum-enhanced metrology devices meant to offer ultra-high precision measurements of chemical or biological samples out of a laboratory-controlled environment.
