• Abstract: In quantum-enhanced astronomical imaging, multiple distant apertures work together by utilizing quantum resources distributed from a central server. Our findings suggest that pre-processing the stellar light received by all telescopes can improve imaging performance without increasing resource consumption. The pre-processing leverages weak quantum measurements and modifies random-party entanglement distillation protocols from quantum information science. Intuitively, this approach allows us to collapse the stellar light that is originally coherent between all telescopes to one pair of telescopes with probability arbitrarily close to one. The central server can then distribute entanglement solely to the pair of telescopes receiving a photon, thereby enhancing the efficiency of resource utilization. We discuss two types of resources that benefit from this pre-processing: shared entanglement and a shared reference frame.

  We show that a receiver that employs spatial-mode sorting at each telescope site can be used to mimic the most general multimode interferometer acting on light collected from the telescopes. We discuss how this entanglement assisted strategy can be used to achieve the quantum-limited precision of any complex quantitative imaging task involving any number of telescopes.

We first study the hybrid intra-particle entanglement between the OAM and the polarization degree of freedom of a single-photon.
