• Authors: Changhun Oh, Sisi Zhou, Yat Wong, and Liang Jiang
• Abstract summary: We analyze the ultimate quantum limit of resolving two identical sources in a noisy environment. Noisy cases contrast with a noiseless case where it has been shown to be nonzero for a small distance. We show that false excitation on an arbitrary measurement, such as dark counts, also makes the classical Fisher information of the measurement approach to zero.

• Abstract: We analyze the ultimate quantum limit of resolving two identical sources in a noisy environment. We prove that in the presence of noise causing false excitation, such as thermal noise, the quantum Fisher information of arbitrary quantum states for the separation of the objects, which quantifies the resolution, always converges to zero as the separation goes to zero. Noisy cases contrast with a noiseless case where it has been shown to be nonzero for a small distance in various circumstances, revealing the superresolution. In addition, we show that false excitation on an arbitrary measurement, such as dark counts, also makes the classical Fisher information of the measurement approach to zero as the separation goes to zero. Finally, a practically relevant situation resolving two identical thermal sources, is quantitatively investigated by using the quantum and classical Fisher information of finite spatial mode multiplexing, showing that the amount of noise poses a limit on the resolution in a noisy system.

  In some specifics quantum protocols without environmental noise, the ultimate sensitivity of a multiparameter quantum estimation can beat the standard quantum limit. We focus on a general two-mode mixed squeezed displaced thermal state, after reducing it to various Gaussian probes states. We find that when the entangled states, two-mode pure squeezed vacuum and two-mode mixed squeezed thermal, are employed as probes states, the upper and bottom bound of HCRB beats the standard quantum limit in the presence of a noisy environment.
