Source imaging in heavy-ion collisions

High energy heavy-ion collisions can produce hundreds or even thousands of highly correlated (i.e. "entangled") particles in a single event. This entanglement is a simple consequence of interparticle interactions and quantum statistics.  These entangled particles can be exploited to "image" the particle emitting source in these nuclear reactions. In this talk, I will describe this imaging technique, the physics we can extract from the images, and some recent results from application of this technique.
