• Abstract: The resolution of optical imaging is classically limited by the width of the point-spread function, which in turn is determined by the Rayleigh length. Recently, spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE) has been proposed as a method to achieve sub-Rayleigh estimation and discrimination of natural, incoherent sources. Here we show that SPADE is optimal in the broader context of machine learning. To this goal, we introduce a hybrid quantum-classical image classifier that achieves sub-Rayleigh resolution. The algorithm includes a quantum and a classical part. In the quantum part, a physical device (demultiplexer) is used to sort the transverse field, followed by mode-wise photon detection. This part of the algorithm implements a physical pre-processing of the quantum field that cannot be classically simulated without essentially reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. In the classical part of the algorithm, the collected data are fed into an artificial neural network for training and classification. As a case study, we classify images from the MNIST dataset after severe blurring due to diffraction. Our numerical experiments demonstrate the ability to learn highly blurred images that would be otherwise indistinguishable by direct imaging without the physical pre-processing of the quantum field.

We demonstrate how to construct locally optimal non-deterministic many-qudit gates using linear optics and photon number resolving detectors. We find that the qudit cluster states require less optical modes and are encoded by a fewer number of entangled photons than the qubit cluster states with similar computational capabilities.

  We present classical sampling algorithms for single-photon and Gaussian input states that take advantage of a graph structure of a linear-optical circuit. We show that when the circuit depth is less than the quadratic in the lattice spacing, the efficient simulation is possible with an exponentially small error. We implement a likelihood test with a recent numerically Gaussian boson sampling experiment and show that the treewidth-based algorithm with a limited treewidth renders a larger likelihood than the experimental data.
