Superresolution is one of the key issues at the crossroads of contemporary quantum optics and metrology. Recently, it was shown that for an idealized case of two balanced sources, spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) achieves resolution…
The Rayleigh diffraction limit imposes a fundamental restriction on the resolution of direct imaging systems, hindering the identification of incoherent optical sources, such as celestial bodies in astronomy and fluorophores in bioimaging.…
The inverse source problem where an unknown source is to be identified from the knowledge of its radiated wave is studied. The focus is placed on the effect that multi-frequency data has on establishing uniqueness. In particular, it is…
We investigate the localization of two incoherent point sources with arbitrary angular and axial separations in the paraxial approximation. By using quantum metrology techniques, we show that a simultaneous estimation of the two separations…
The Rayleigh's criterion infamously imposes a minimum separation between two incoherent sources for them to be distinguishable via classical methods. In this work, we demonstrate the emergence of two-photon beats from the interference of a…
The problem of super-resolution, roughly speaking, is to reconstruct an unknown signal to high accuracy, given (potentially noisy) information about its low-degree Fourier coefficients. Prior results on super-resolution have imposed strong…
We present a method to estimate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of many-body quantum states in the presence of decoherence, where its direct evaluation requires the full spectral resolution of the density matrix. We show that, for…
We demonstrate an approach to obtaining near quantum-limited far-field imaging resolution of incoherent sources with arbitrary distributions. Our method assumes no prior knowledge of the source distribution, but rather uses an adaptive…
Single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots have emerged as an excellent platform for high efficiency quantum light generation. However, scalability remains a challenge since quantum dots generally present inhomogeneous…
The optimal quantum measurements for estimating individual parameters might be incompatible with each other so that they cannot be jointly performed. The tradeoff between the estimation precision for different parameters can be…
We theoretically compare the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for three configurations of absorption spectroscopy with undetected idler photons: an SU(1,1) interferometer with inter-source idler loss, an induced-coherence (IC) setup in…
This paper develops a mathematical theory of super-resolution. Broadly speaking, super-resolution is the problem of recovering the fine details of an object---the high end of its spectrum---from coarse scale information only---from samples…
Non-Hermitian systems have attracted considerable interest over the last few decades due to their unique spectral and dynamical properties not encountered in Hermitian counterparts. An intensely debated question is whether non-Hermitian…
Entanglement is widely regarded as an essential resource for a number of tasks and can in some cases be quantified by figures of merit related to those tasks. In quantum metrology, this is showcased by the connections between the quantum…
We show that quantification of the performance of quantum-enhanced measurement schemes based on the concept of quantum Fisher information yields asymptotically equivalent results as the rigorous Bayesian approach, provided generic…
Indistinguishable quantum states interfere, but the mere possibility of obtaining information that could distinguish between overlapping states inhibits quantum interference. Quantum interference imaging can outperform classical imaging or…
As most optical satellites remotely acquire multispectral images (MSIs) with limited spatial resolution, multispectral unmixing (MU) becomes a critical signal processing technology for analyzing the pure material spectra for high-precision…
Starting with far field data of time-harmonic acoustic or electromagnetic waves radiated by a collection of compactly supported sources in two-dimensional free space, we develop criteria and algorithms for the recovery of the far field…
Resolving high-contrast targets is a fundamental yet highly challenging task in astronomy. Using quantum estimation theory, we demonstrate that the ultimate limit for estimating the separation between two unequal-brightness thermal sources…
Imaging using interferometer arrays based on the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem has been widely used in astronomical observation. Recently it was shown that superresolution can be achieved in this system for imaging two weak thermal point…
