Quantum-accelerated imaging of N stars selected as Editor’s pick in Optics Letters

Congratulations to Fanglin Bao for his new paper in Optics Letters which talks about - Imaging point sources with low angular separation near or below the Rayleigh criterion are important in astronomy, e.g., in the search for habitable exoplanets near stars. However, the measurement time required to resolve stars in the sub-Rayleigh region via traditional direct imaging is usually prohibitive.

Here we propose quantum-accelerated imaging (QAI) to significantly reduce the measurement time using an information-theoretic approach.
