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…
Towards Quantum Limited Spatial Resolution of NV-Diamond Magnetometry
Nico Deshler, Declan Daly, Ayan Majumder +2
Optically addressable ensembles of solid-state defects, such as nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, are a leading modality for imaging-based magnetometry, thermometry and strain sensing…
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…
Incoherent Imaging with Spatially Structured Quantum Probes
Anthony J. Brady, Zihao Gong, Alexey V. Gorshkov +1
Incoherent imaging, including fluorescence and absorption microscopy, is often limited by weak signals and resolution constraints -- notoriously, Rayleigh's curse. We investigate h…
Optimal single-mode squeezing for beam displacement sensing
Wenhua He, Christos N. Gagatsos, Dalziel J. Wilson +1
Estimation of an optical beam's transverse displacement is a canonical imaging problem fundamental to numerous optical imaging and sensing tasks. Quantum enhancements to the measur…
Imaging-based Quantum Optomechanics
Christian M. Pluchar, Wenhua He, Jack Manley +3
In active imaging protocols, information about an object is encoded into the spatial mode of a scattered photon. Recently the quantum limits of active imaging have been explored wi…
