S Pirandola, BR Bardhan, T Gehring, C Weedbrook… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Quantum sensing has become a broad field. It is generally related with the idea of using
quantum resources to boost the performance of a number of practical tasks, including the …

Quantum plasmonic sensors

C Lee, B Lawrie, R Pooser, KG Lee… - Chemical …, 2021 - ACS Publications
The extraordinary sensitivity of plasmonic sensors is well-known in the optics and photonics
community. These sensors exploit simultaneously the enhancement and the localization of …

Handheld multi-frame super-resolution

B Wronski, I Garcia-Dorado, M Ernst, D Kelly… - ACM Transactions on …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Compared to DSLR cameras, smartphone cameras have smaller sensors, which limits their
spatial resolution; smaller apertures, which limits their light gathering ability; and smaller …

Resolving starlight: a quantum perspective

M Tsang - Contemporary Physics, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
The wave-particle duality of light introduces two fundamental problems to imaging, namely,
the diffraction limit and the photon shot noise. Quantum information theory can tackle them …

Spatial optical mode demultiplexing as a practical tool for optimal transverse distance estimation

P Boucher, C Fabre, G Labroille, N Treps - Optica, 2020 - opg.optica.org
We present the experimental implementation of simultaneous spatial multimode
demultiplexing as a distance measurement tool. We use this technique to estimate the …

Subdiffraction incoherent optical imaging via spatial-mode demultiplexing

M Tsang - New Journal of Physics, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
I propose a spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) measurement scheme for the far-field
imaging of spatially incoherent optical sources. For any object too small to be resolved by …

Quantum limit to subdiffraction incoherent optical imaging

M Tsang - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
The application of quantum estimation theory to the problem of imaging two incoherent point
sources has recently led to new insights and better measurements for incoherent imaging …

Quantum hypothesis testing for exoplanet detection

Z Huang, C Lupo - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Detecting the faint emission of a secondary source in the proximity of the much brighter one
has been the most severe obstacle for using direct imaging in searching for exoplanets …

Approaching quantum-limited imaging resolution without prior knowledge of the object location

MR Grace, Z Dutton, A Ashok, S Guha - JOSA A, 2020 - opg.optica.org
Passive imaging receivers that demultiplex an incoherent optical field into a set of
orthogonal spatial modes prior to detection can surpass canonical diffraction limits on spatial …

Gaussian quantum estimation of the loss parameter in a thermal environment

R Jonsson, R Di Candia - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Lossy bosonic channels play an important role in a number of quantum information tasks,
since they well approximate thermal dissipation in an experiment. Here, we characterize …
