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…
