Due to photonic visualization, quantum physics is not restricted to the microworld. Starting off with synthetic aperture radar, the paper provides a unified approach to coherent atom optics, clinical magnetic resonance tomography and the bacterial protein dynamics of structural microbiology. Its mathematical base is harmonic analysis on the three‐dimensional Heisenberg Lie group with associated nilpotent Heisenberg algebra Lie(N).
