We present a technique for binary spatial mode demultiplexing, using a double-clad fiber coupler as an optical mode sorter, for hypothesis testing for one or two point sources in an incident optical field. By directly coupling an optical…
We propose a new scheme to achieve sub-Rayleigh resolution of interference pattern with independent laser beams. We perform an experimental observation of a double-slit interference with two orthogonally polarized laser beams. The…
The Rayleigh diffraction bound sets the minimum separation for two point objects to be distinguishable in a conventional imaging system. We demonstrate resolution enhancement beyond the Rayleigh bound using random scanning of a…
We establish the multiparameter quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound for simultaneously estimating the centroid, the separation, and the relative intensities of two incoherent optical point sources using alinear imaging system. For equally bright…
We establish a simple method to assess the quantum Fisher information required for resolving two incoherent point sources with an imaging system. The resulting Cram\'er-Rao bound shows that the standard Rayleigh limit can be surpassed by…
Stage-IV dark energy wide-field surveys, such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), will observe an unprecedented number density of galaxies. As a result, the majority of imaged galaxies will visually…
The Rayleigh criterion has long served as a fundamental limit for the resolution of optical imaging. Recent advances in multiparameter quantum metrology have led to quantum superresolution that can break this limit and achieve nonvanishing…
We provide a technique for resolving intermediate-separation binaries stars with medium-sized telescopes (i.e. diameter less than or equal to 2.5 m) at wavelengths around 825 nm in the super-resolution range (i.e. below the limit defined by…
Estimating the angular separation between two incoherently radiating monochromatic point sources is a canonical toy problem to quantify spatial resolution in imaging. In recent work, Tsang {\em et al.} showed, using a Fisher Information…
We determine the ultimate potential of quantum imaging for boosting the resolution of a far-field, diffraction-limited, linear imaging device within the paraxial approximation. First we show that the problem of estimating the separation…
Quantum-optimal discrimination between one and two closely separated light sources can be achieved by ideal spatial-mode demultiplexing, simply monitoring whether a photon is detected in a single antisymmetric mode. However, we show that…
We report a violation of Bell's inequality using one photon from a parametric down-conversion source and a second photon from an attenuated laser beam. The two photons were entangled at a beam splitter using the post-selection technique of…
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…
Quantum-inspired superresolution methods surpass the Rayleigh limit in imaging, or the analogous Fourier limit in spectroscopy. This is achieved by carefully extracting the information carried in the emitted optical field by engineered…
No imaging apparatus can produce perfect images: spatial resolution is limited by the Rayleigh diffraction bound that is a consequence of the imager's finite spatial extent. We show some N-photon strategies that permit resolution of details…
We study an inverse problem where an unknown radiating source is observed with collimated detectors along a single line and the medium has a known attenuation. The research is motivated by applications in SPECT and beam hardening. If…
The nature of dark matter is a fundamental puzzle in modern physics. A major approach of searching for dark matter relies on detecting feeble noise in microwave cavities. However, the quantum advantages of common quantum resources such as…
The standard imaging algorithm for interferometric radio data, CLEAN, is optimal for point source observations, but suboptimal for diffuse emission. Recently, RESOLVE, a new Bayesian algorithm has been developed, which is ideal for extended…
Bell inequalities are a cornerstone of quantum physics. By carefully selecting measurement bases (typically polarization), their violation certifies quantum entanglement. Such measurements are disrupted by the presence of optical disorder…
Rayleigh criterion has been continuously broken through with modern detecting instruments, many methods on resolving two emitters below the classical diffraction limit has been developed, one of these methods is detecting high order…
