Attaining Fundamental Limits of Multiparameter Incoherent Optical Imaging Using Joint-Detection Quantum Measurements

Nico Deshler, Aakash Warke, Michael R. Grace +2

Resolving extended incoherent objects below the diffraction limit poses an application-rich imaging challenge whose solution may enable a new generation of observational instrument…

Fundamental Limit for One versus Two Point Sources Detection using Direct Imaging

Parth Hemant Darekar, Amit Kumar Jha, Michael R. Grace +2

We consider the task of distinguishing between a single weak incoherent optical point source and two weak incoherent optical point sources located symmetrically about the first sou…

Passive optical superresolution at the quantum limit

A. I. Lvovsky, Michael R. Grace, Saikat Guha +3

For more than a century, the diffraction limit has defined the resolution achievable by passive optical imaging systems. Although some resolution improvement can be gained through…

Adaptive Super-Resolution Imaging Without Prior Knowledge Using a Programmable Spatial-Mode Sorter

Itay Ozer, Michael. R. Grace, Pierre-Alexandre Blanche +1

We consider an imaging system tasked with estimating the angular distance between two incoherently-emitting, identically bright, sub-Rayleigh-separated point sources, without any p…

Detecting changes to sub-diffraction objects with quantum-optimal speed and accuracy

Michael R Grace, Saikat Guha, Zachary Dutton

Detecting if and when objects change is difficult in passive sub-diffraction imaging of dynamic scenes. We consider the best possible tradeoff between responsivity and accuracy for…

Quantum limits of parameter estimation in long-baseline imaging

Aqil Sajjad, Michael R Grace, Saikat Guha

Distributed aperture telescopes are a well-established approach for boosting resolution in astronomical imaging. However, theoretical limits on quantitative imaging precision, and…

Demonstration of quantum-limited discrimination of multi-copy pure versus mixed states

Arunkumar Jagannathan, Olivia Brasher, Michael Grace +3

We demonstrate an optical receiver that achieves the quantum Chernoff bound for discriminating coherent states from thermal states in the multi-copy scenario. In contrast, we find…

Programming the Kennedy Receiver for Capacity Maximization versus Minimizing One-shot Error Probability

Rahul Bhadani, Michael Grace, Ivan B. Djordjevic +2

We find the capacity attained by the Kennedy receiver for coherent-state BPSK when the symbol prior p and pre-detection displacement are optimized. The optimal displacement is diff…
