Very cool. Yes, probably? I'll have to think about the relationship between image quality and the fidelity of the derived phase measurement, because it's not obvious how good a camera needs to be to be "good enough" for a secure system. Light field? I remember Lytro! Such cool technology that never found its niche. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytro Is anybody making a successor product?

I guess the task is to design an experiment to test the error between phase inferred from intensity in a digital camera by Huygens-Steiner and a barycentric coordinate map And far more expensive photonic phase sensors. Is (framerate-1 Hz) a limit, due to the discrete derivative being null for the first n points? Fortunately this article explained the implications of said breakthrough; "Physicists use a 350-year-old theorem [Huygens-Steiner] to reveal new properties of light waves" https://phys.org/news/2023-08-physicists-year-old-theorem-reveal-properties.amp https://phys.org/news/2023-08-physicists-year-old-theorem-re... : > This means that hard-to-measure optical properties such as amplitudes, phases and correlations—perhaps even these of quantum wave systems—can be deduced from something a lot easier to measure: light intensity. IDK what happened with wave field cameras like the Lytro. They're possibly useful for face ID, too? "SAR wavefield". There's a thing. From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32819838 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32819838 : > Wave Field recordings are probably [would probably be] the most complete known descriptions of the brain and its nonlinear fields?
