Quantum spatial super-resolution by the optical centroid measurement method

Some topics in quantum imaging

Mikhail I. Kolobov

This talk will give an overview of quantum imaging, a new branch of quantum optics which investigates the ultimate performance limits in optical imaging imposed by the quantum nature of the light. I will discuss several topics of quantum imaging such as noiseless image amplification, quantum limits of super-resolution, and others.

Definition of Multi-Parameter Super-Resolution for Optical Telescopes

Peter Menart, Seungman Choi, Zubin Jacob

Super-resolution techniques in microscopy are opening new frontiers in biology, and super-resolution for telescope imaging may provide similar benefits for astronomy and space domain awareness. Telescope super-resolution techniques such as multi-plane light conversion and photonic lanterns have been inspired by the ability of mode sorting measurements to extract classical Fisher information closer to the quantum bound than standard telescope imaging. Fisher information analyses for super-resolution imaging systems commonly consider the case of imaging point sources, but often only consider estimating a small subset of the parameters. Furthermore, there has been no demonstration of an estimation algorithm with performance that follows the limit set by the Fisher information when all point source parameters are considered. We provide a framework for defining and analyzing super-resolution using the classical and quantum Fisher information for the multi-parameter estimation problem and demonstrate an algorithm that can achieve the classical Fisher information bound for all the parameters simultaneously.
