• Authors: Jian-Dong Zhang, Kexin Zhang, Lili Hou, Shuai Wang,
• Abstract summary: Previous studies assume that the potential source is completely incoherent. We compare the error probability limit given by the quantum Helstrom bound with the error probability given by direct decision. We propose a specific detection strategy using binary spatial-mode demultiplexing, which can be used in the scenarios without any prior information.

• Abstract: Determining the presence of a potential optical source in the interest region is important for an imaging system and can be achieved by using hypothesis testing. The previous studies assume that the potential source is completely incoherent. In this paper, this problem is generalized to the scenario with partially coherent sources and any prior probabilities. We compare the error probability limit given by the quantum Helstrom bound with the error probability given by direct decision based on the prior probability. On this basis, the quantum-optimal detection advantage and detection-useless region are analyzed. For practical purposes, we propose a specific detection strategy using binary spatial-mode demultiplexing, which can be used in the scenarios without any prior information. This strategy shows superior detection performance and the results hold prospects for achieving super-resolved microscopic and astronomical imaging.

  Discrimination of one-versus-two point-like incoherent sources in symmetric and asymmetric scenarios is studied. We calculate the quantum lower bounds on error probabilities of making a decision after one-shot and multi-shot tests. Our results may contribute to real-world quantum imaging such as microscopy and astronomy.

  We propose binned-detector probability distributions as a suitable quantity to statistically validate GBS experiments. We show how to compute such distributions by leveraging their connection with their respective characteristic function. We also illustrate how binned-detector probability distributions behave when Haar-averaged over all possible interferometric networks.

We first show a negative result, that the output distributions of super-logarithmic depth Clifford circuits are not sample-efficiently learnable. We show that in a more powerful oracle model, namely when directly given access to samples, the output distributions of local Clifford circuits are computationally efficiently PAC learnable.
