Imaging resolution signal-to-noise ratio in transverse phase amplification from classical information theory

  • 1. School of Nuclear Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 (United States)

Description

A quantum phase amplifier operated in the spatial domain can improve the signal-to-noise ratio in imaging beyond the classical limit. The scaling of the signal-to-noise ratio with the gain of the quantum phase amplifier is derived from classical information theory
