Quantum interference fringes beating the diffraction limit.
Spatially formed two-photon interference fringes with fringe periods smaller than the diffraction limit are demonstrated. In the experiment, a fringe formed by two-photon NOON states with wavelength lambda=702.2 nm is observed using a specially developed near-field scanning optical microscope probe and two-photon detection setup. The observed fringe period of 328.2 nm is well below the diffract...
متن کاملOn the classical limit in atom-surface diffraction
– The transition to the classical limit in atom-surface diffraction is studied using the de Broglie-Bohm causal formalism. In particular, we focus on rainbow scattering, which is a well-defined effect in classical mechanics and has a clear counterpart in quantum mechanics. In order to achieve this limit, we consider the scattering of particles with increasing masses off a Cu(110) surface. Altho...
متن کامل× optical zoom and extreme optical image stabilisation : diffraction limited integral field spectroscopy with the SWIFT spectrograph
When commissioned in November 2008 at the Palomar 200 inch Hale Telescope, the Oxford SWIFT I&z band integral field spectrograph, fed by the adaptive optics system PALAO, provided a wide (3×) range of spatial resolutions: three plate scales of 235 mas, 160 mas, and 80 mas per spaxel over a contiguous field-of-view of 89×44 pixels. Depending on observing conditions and guide star brightness we c...
متن کاملBeating the shot-noise limit
The current shot-noise of an electron beam is proportional to its average current and the frequency bandwidth. This is a consequence of the Poisson distribution statistics of particles emitted at random from any source. Here we demonstrate noise suppression below the shot-noise limit in optical frequencies for relativistic electron beams. This process is made possible by collective Coulomb inte...
متن کاملBeating the Abbe diffraction limit in confocal microscopy via nonclassical photon statistics.
We experimentally demonstrate quantum enhanced resolution in confocal fluorescence microscopy exploiting the nonclassical photon statistics of single nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamond. By developing a general model of superresolution based on the direct sampling of the kth-order autocorrelation function of the photoluminescence signal, we show the possibility to resolve, in principle, a...
