Quantum Imaging with Incoherent Photons Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We propose a technique to obtain subwavelength resolution in quantum imaging with potentially 100% contrast using incoherent light. Our method requires neither path-entangled number states nor multiphoton 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 /N can be achieved. 2007 The American Physical Society.
