Quantum Theory of Superresolution for Two Incoherent Optical Point Sources

Rayleigh’s criterion for resolving two incoherent point sources has been the most influential measure of optical imaging resolution for over a century. In the context of statistical image processing, violation of the criterion is especially detrimental to the estimation of the separation between the sources, and modern far-field superresolution techniques rely on suppressing the emission of clo...

تبادل تابش گرمایی بین دو تیغه مغناطو‌دی‌الکتریک متا ماده با ضخامت متناهی در شرایط غیرتعادلی

In this paper, we consider a system including two maghnetodielectric slabs with different temperature that are placed in vacuum at zero temperature and very short separation distances from each other. Based on the canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in the presence of dissipative media, we investigate the radiative heat transfer arising from thermal and quantum fluctuations in o...

Quantization of electromagnetic fields in the presence of a spherical semiconductor quantum dot and spontaneous decay of an excited atom doped in this nanostructure

In this paper we consider electromagnetic field quantization in the presence of a dispersive and absorbing semiconductor quantum dot. By using macroscopic approach and Green's function method, quantization of electromagnetic field is investigated. Interaction of a two-level atom , which is doped in a semiconductor quantum dot, with the quantized field is considered and its spontaneous emission ...

Quantum Gravity and Astrophysics: The Microwave Background and Other Thermal Sources

The problem of formulating a fully consistent quantum theory of gravity has not yet been solved. Even before we are able to work out the details of a complete theory, however, we do know some important qualitative features to be expected in any quantum theory. Fluctuations of the metric, for example, are expected and are associated with fluctuations of the lightcone. Lightcone fluctuations affe...
