Abstract
Imaging systems measuring intensity in the far field succumb to Rayleigh's curse, a resolution limitation dictated by the finite aperture of the optical system. Many proof-of-principle and some two-dimensional imaging experiments have shown that, by using spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE), the field information collected is maximal, and, thus, the resolution increases beyond the Rayleigh criterion. Hitherto, the SPADE approaches are based on resolving the lateral splitting of a Gaussian wave function. Here, we consider the case in which the light field originates from a biphoton source, i.e., spontaneous parametric down-conversion, and a horizontal separation is introduced in one of the two photons. We show that a separation induced in the signal photon arm can be superresolved using coincidence measurements after projecting both photons on Hermite-Gauss modes. Remarkably, the Fisher information associated with the measurement is enhanced compared to the ordinary SPADE techniques by root K, where K is the Schmidt number of the two-photon state that quantifies the amount of spatial entanglement between the two photons.
