Interferometry is a paradigm for most precision measurements. Using $N$ uncorrelated particles, the achievable precision for a two-mode (two-path) interferometer is bounded by the standard quantum limit (SQL), $1/\sqrt{N}$, due to the…
In a previous paper [M. Tsang, Phys. Rev. A 99, 012305 (2019)], I proposed a quantum limit to the estimation of object moments in subdiffraction incoherent optical imaging. In this sequel, I prove the quantum limit rigorously by…

It has been recently suggested that optical interferometers may not require a phase-stable optical link between the stations if instead sources of quantum-mechanically entangled pairs could be provided to them, enabling extra-long baselines…

Classical, interferometric, optical lithography is diffraction limited to writing features of a size lambda/2 or greater, where lambda is the optical wavelength. Using nonclassical photon number states, entangled N at a time, we show that…
