Incoherent imaging, including fluorescence and absorption microscopy, is often limited by weak signals and resolution constraints -- notoriously, Rayleigh's curse. We investigate how spatially structured quantum probes, combined with…

Resolving a linear combination of point sources from their band-limited Fourier data is a fundamental problem in imaging and signal processing. With the incomplete Fourier data and the inevitable noise in the measurement, there is a…

We analyze the fundamental resolution of incoherent optical point sources from the perspective of a quantum detection problem: deciding whether the optical field on the image plane is generated by one source or two weaker sources with…

Conventional incoherent imaging based on measuring the spatial intensity distribution in the image plane faces the resolution hurdle described by the Rayleigh diffraction criterion. Here, we demonstrate theoretically using the concept of…

The curse of dimensionality in the realm of association rules is twofold. Firstly, we have the well known exponential increase in computational complexity with increasing item set size. Secondly, there is a \emph{related curse} concerned…

Quantum Fisher information and signal-to-noise ratio bounds are derived for the estimation of moments of general partially coherent objects. Under an asymptotic analysis in the sub-Rayleigh regime, these bounds are shown to be less…

Historically, the resolution of optical imaging systems was dictated by diffraction, and the Rayleigh criterion was long considered an unsurpassable limit. In superresolution microscopy, this limit is overcome by manipulating the emission…

We consider the problem of estimating a structured multivariate density, subject to Markov conditions implied by an undirected graph. In the worst case, without Markovian assumptions, this problem suffers from the curse of dimensionality.…

The reversal curse describes a failure of autoregressive language models to retrieve a fact in reverse order (e.g., training on ``$A > B$'' but failing on ``$B < A$''). Recent work shows that objectives with bidirectional supervision (e.g.,…

Given an image generated by the convolution of point sources with a band-limited function, the deconvolution problem is to reconstruct the source number, positions, and amplitudes. This problem arises from many important applications in…
