• Authors: Emre K\"ose and Daniel Braun
• Abstract summary: We study super-resolution imaging theoretically using a distant n-mode interferometer in the microwave regime for passive remote sensing. We find the optimal detection modes by combining incoming modes with an optimized unitary. In our numerical analysis, we achieved a quantum-enhanced super-resolution by reconstructing an image using the maximum likelihood estimator with a pixel size of 3 km.

• Abstract: We study super-resolution imaging theoretically using a distant n-mode interferometer in the microwave regime for passive remote sensing, used e.g., for satellites like the "soil moisture and ocean salinity (SMOS)" mission to observe the surface of the Earth. We give a complete quantum mechanical analysis of multiparameter estimation of the temperatures on the source plane. We find the optimal detection modes by combining incoming modes with an optimized unitary that enables the most informative measurement based on photon counting in the detection modes and saturates the quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound from the symmetric logarithmic derivative for the parameter set of temperatures. In our numerical analysis, we achieved a quantum-enhanced super-resolution by reconstructing an image using the maximum likelihood estimator with a pixel size of 3 km, which is ten times smaller than the spatial resolution of SMOS with comparable parameters. Further, we find the optimized unitary for uniform temperature distribution on the source plane, with the temperatures corresponding to the average temperatures of the image. Even though the corresponding unitary was not optimized for the specific image, it still gives a super-resolution compared to local measurement scenarios for the theoretically possible maximum number of measurements.

  We evaluate the best possible average latency, for a fixed false alarm rate, for sub-diffraction incoherent imaging. We find that direct focal-plane detection of the incident optical intensity achieves sub-optimal detection latencies. We verify these results via Monte Carlo simulation of the change detection procedure and quantify a growing gap between the conventional and quantum-optimal receivers.

  Long Horizon Temperature Scaling (LHTS) is a novel approach for sampling from temperature-scaled joint distributions. We derive a temperature-dependent LHTS objective, and show that finetuning a model on a range of temperatures produces a single model capable of generation with a controllable long horizon temperature parameter.

• Quantum-enhanced passive remote sensing [0.3222802562733786]
  We give a fully quantum mechanical analysis of the problem, starting from thermal distributions of microscopic currents on the surface to be imaged. We derive the optimal detection modes and measurement schemes that allow one to saturate the quantum Cram'er-Rao bound. For parameters comparable to those of SMOS, a quantum enhancement of the spatial resolution by more than a factor of 20 should be possible with a single measurement and a single detector.

  We study the problem of estimating the temperature of Gaussian systems with feasible measurements. For a class of single-mode states that includes thermal ones, the optimal Gaussian measurement is either Heterodyne or Homodyne, depending on the temperature regime. We show that Gaussian measurements become optimal in the limit of large temperatures, while on/off photo-detection-like measurements do it for when the temperature tends to zero.
