- Abstract: Quantum imaging with undetected photons is a recently introduced technique
that goes significantly beyond what was previously possible. In this technique,
images are formed without detecting the light that interacted with the object
that is imaged. Given this unique advantage over the existing imaging schemes,
it is now of utmost importance to understand its resolution limits, in
particular what governs the maximal achievable spatial resolution. We show both
theoretically and experimentally that the momentum correlation between the
detected and undetected photons governs the spatial resolution - a stronger
correlation results in a higher resolution. In our experiment, the momentum
correlation plays the dominating role in determining the resolution compared to
the effect of diffraction. We find that the resolution is determined by the
wavelength of the undetected light rather than the wavelength of the detected
light. Our results thus show that it is in principle possible to obtain
resolution characterized by a wavelength much shorter than the detected
wavelength.

Imaging systems measuring intensity in the far field succumb to Rayleigh's curse, a resolution limitation dictated by the finite aperture of the optical system.
Many proof-of-principle and some two-dimensional imaging experiments have shown that, by using spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE), the field information collected is maximal.

Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies.
Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources.
We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

We propose a nonlinear imaging scheme that overcomes the diffraction limit by transferring near-field information at one wavelength to far-field information of a correlated photon with a different wavelength generated through spontaneous photon-pair generation.
At the same time, this scheme allows for retrieval of high-contrast images with zero background, making it a highly sensitive scheme for imaging of small objects at challenging spectral ranges with subdiffraction resolutions.

Quantum imaging with undetected photons relies on the principle of induced coherence without induced emission.
We investigate the transverse resolution of this non-local imaging scheme through a general formalism.
We conclude that this result is also valid for other non-local two-photon imaging schemes.

We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial.
We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths.
In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
