- Abstract: In classical optics, there is a well-known resolution limit, called
Rayleigh's curse, in the separation of two incoherent optical sources in close
proximity. Recently, Tsang et al. revealed that this difficulty may be
circumvented in the framework of quantum theory. Following their work, various
estimation methods have been proposed to overcome Rayleigh's curse, but none of
them enables us to estimate the positions of two point sources simultaneously
based on single-photon measurements with high accuracy. In this study, we
propose a method to simultaneously estimate the positions of two point sources
with the highest accuracy using adaptive quantum state estimation scheme.

We calculate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for estimating, using a circular imaging aperture, the two-dimensional location of a point source against a uniformly bright disk of known center and radius in the ideal photon-counting limit.
A related problem of the quantum limit on estimating the location of a small-area brightness hole in an otherwise uniformly bright disk is also treated perturbatively in powers of the ratio of the areas of the hole and the background disk.
