Sub-Rayleigh Quantum Imaging
  No imaging apparatus can produce perfect images: spatial resolution is limited by the Rayleigh diffraction bound that is a consequence of the imager's finite spatial extent. We show some N-photon strategies that permit resolution of details that are smaller than this bound, attaining either a 1/sqrt(N) enhancement (standard quantum limit) or a 1/N enhancement (Heisenberg limit) over standard techniques. In the incoherent imaging regime, the methods presented are loss resistant, because they can be implemented with classical-state light sources. Our results may be of importance in many applications: microscopy, telescopy, lithography, metrology, etc.
