We describe a new method to overcome the diffraction limit in astronomy, by amplification of photon wave packets. This method was demonstrated in theory, by computer simulation, and is now being experimentally tested.

In the late 1960s, a young physicist was sailing along the coast of California towards Berkeley, where he got a post-doc position in astronomy. But his real goal was not astronomy, at least not immediately. First, John Clauser eagerly wanted to test some predictions of quantum theory that were at odds with a then recent and mostly ignored result by an Irish physicist John Stewart Bell, working at the celebrated CERN near Geneva.
