Quantum Imaging with Incoherent Photons
arXiv:quant-ph/0701024 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.133603
Abstract
We propose a technique to obtain sub-wavelength resolution in quantum imaging with potentially 100% contrast using incoherent light. Our method requires neither path-entangled number states nor multi-photon absorption. The scheme makes use of N photons spontaneously emitted by N atoms and registered by N detectors. It is shown that for coincident detection at particular detector positions a resolution of λ/ N can be achieved.
