• Abstract summary: Incoherent imaging based on measuring the spatial intensity distribution in the image plane faces the resolution hurdle described by the Rayleigh diffraction criterion. Here, we demonstrate theoretically using the concept of the Fisher information that quadrature statistics measured by means of array homodyne detection enables estimation of the distance between two incoherent point sources well below the Rayleigh limit for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio.

• Abstract: Conventional incoherent imaging based on measuring the spatial intensity distribution in the image plane faces the resolution hurdle described by the Rayleigh diffraction criterion. Here, we demonstrate theoretically using the concept of the Fisher information that quadrature statistics measured by means of array homodyne detection enables estimation of the distance between two incoherent point sources well below the Rayleigh limit for sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratio. This capability is attributed to the availability of spatial coherence information between individual detector pixels acquired using the coherent detection technique. A simple analytical approximation for the precision attainable in the sub-Rayleigh region is presented. Furthermore, an estimation algorithm is proposed and applied to Monte Carlo simulated data.

• Superresolution in separation estimation between two dynamic incoherent sources using spatial demultiplexing [0.0]
  Recently, perfect measurement based on spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) in Hermite-Gauss modes allowed one to reach the quantum limit of precision for estimation of separation between two weak incoherent stationary sources. In this paper, we consider another deviation from the perfect setup by discarding the assumption about the stationarity of the sources. We formulate a measurement algorithm that allows for the reduction of one parameter for estimation in the stationary sources scenario.

  This paper studies score approximation, estimation, and distribution recovery of diffusion models, when data are supported on an unknown low-dimensional linear subspace. We show that with a properly chosen neural network architecture, the score function can be both accurately approximated and efficiently estimated. The generated distribution based on the estimated score function captures the data geometric structures and converges to a close vicinity of the data distribution.
