Abstract

Recent works showed that the separation between two point sources can be estimated at the quantum limit using intensity measurements after spatial-mode demultiplexing. However, so far these results have been either limited to low-intensity, or thermal sources. In this talk, we will present an analytical expression for the Quantum Fisher Information for the separation between two sources in an arbitrary Gaussian states. This expression allows us to determine the ultimate resolution limit for a series of practically relevant states, e.g. correlated or displaced thermal states (corresponding to partially coherent sources) and squeezed states (exhibiting quantum correlations). Moreover, we will show how a simple estimation technique, requiring access only to the mean value of a linear combination of demultiplexed intensity measurements can be used to saturate these limits. Finally, we will discuss the applicability of the proposed methods in present experimental setups.
