Sub-Rayleigh quantum imaging using single-photon sources

[en] 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.

We emphasize that coincident detection is not a prerequisite for our scheme. The requirement is that the two photons emitted by the two atoms are recorded by the two detectors; the exact detection time does not influence the contrast nor the resolution of the correlation signal.
