    Quantum correlation imaging plays an important role in quantum information processing. The existing quantum correlation imaging schemes mostly use Gaussian beam as pump source, resulting in entangled two-photons exhibiting a Gaussian distribution. In this letter, we report the first experimental demonstration of quantum correlation imaging using a flat top beam as the pump source, which can effectively solve the problem of imaging distortion. The sampling time for each point is 5 seconds, the imaging similarity is 93.4%. The principle of this scheme is reliable, the device is simple, and it can achieve high similarity quantum correlation imaging at room temperature.
