Noise-resolution uncertainty principle in classical and quantum systems

Timur E. Gureyev, Alexander Kozlov, Yakov I. Nesterets +2

It is proved that the width of a function and the width of the distribution of its values cannot be made arbitrarily small simultaneously. In the case of ergodic stochastic process…

On the "unreasonable" effectiveness of Transport of Intensity imaging and optical deconvolution

T. E. Gureyev, Ya. I. Nesterets, A. Kozlov +2

The effectiveness of reconstructive imaging using the Homogeneous Transport of Intensity equation may be regarded as "unreasonable", because it has been shown to significantly incr…

On the van Cittert - Zernike theorem for intensity correlations and its applications

Timur E. Gureyev, Alexander Kozlov, David M. Paganin +3

A reciprocal relationship between the autocovariance of the light intensity in the source plane and in the far-field detector plane is presented in a form analogous to the classica…

On noise-resolution uncertainty in quantum field theory

Timur E. Gureyev, Alexander Kozlov, Yakov I. Nesterets +2

An uncertainty inequality is presented that establishes a lower limit for the product of the variance of the time-averaged intensity of a mode of a quantized electromagnetic field…

On spatial resolution, signal-to-noise and information capacity of linear imaging systems

Timur Gureyev, Yakov Nesterets, Frank de Hoog

A simple model for image formation in linear shift-invariant systems is considered, in which both the detected signal and the noise variance are varying slowly compared to the poin…

Monomorphous decomposition method for phase retrieval and phase-contrast tomography

T. E. Gureyev, Ya. I. Nesterets

We show that an arbitrary spatial distribution of complex refractive index inside an object can be exactly represented as a sum of two "monomorphous" complex distributions, i.e. th…

Evaluating the Performance of BSBL Methodology for EEG Source Localization On a Realistic Head Model

Sajib Saha, Rajib Rana, Ya. I. Nesterets +3

Source localization in EEG represents a high dimensional inverse problem, which is severely ill-posed by nature. Fortunately, sparsity constraints have come into rescue as it helps…

Linear algorithms for phase retrieval in the Fresnel region: validity conditions

T. E. Gureyev, Ya. I. Nesterets

We describe the relationship between different forms of linearized expressions for the spatial distribution of intensity of X-ray projection images obtained in the Fresnel region.…

On the noise-resolution duality, Heisenberg uncertainty and Shannon's information

T. E. Gureyev, F. de Hoog, Ya. I. Nesterets +1

Several variations of the Heisenberg uncertainty inequality are derived on the basis of "noise-resolution duality" recently proposed by the authors. The same approach leads to a re…
