Quantum instruments derived from composite systems allow greater measurement precision than their classical counterparts due to coherences maintained between N components; spins, atoms or photons. Decoherence that plagues real-world devices…
Super-resolution estimation is the problem of recovering a stream of spikes (point sources) from the noisy observation of a few numbers of its first trigonometric moments. The performance of super-resolution is recognized to be intimately…
