Sub-Rayleigh quantum imaging using single-photon sources Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We propose a technique capable of imaging a distinct physical object with sub-Rayleigh resolution in an ordinary far-field imaging setup using single-photon sources and linear optical tools only. We exemplify our method for the case of a rectangular aperture and two or four single-photon emitters obtaining a resolution enhanced by a factor of 2 or 4, respectively. 2009 The American Physical Society.
