This $150,902 National Science Foundation award under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program will support research at Louisiana State University to develop single-pixel quantum statistical imaging technologies beyond the Abbe-Rayleigh resolution criterion. The award aims to demonstrate that optical instrument spatial resolution limitations can be overcome through measurements of quantum photon statistical properties, which are insensitive to diffraction. Researchers will prepare multiple light sources with tunable coherence properties, characterize beams using photon-number-resolving detection, and develop artificial neural networks for single-pixel cameras with photon-number resolution. Key milestones include theoretically modeling quantum coherence evolution in multiparticle systems, and experimentally demonstrating single-pixel superresolution imaging of photon emitters and scatterers. Completion of milestones is expected to lead to the first family of superresolving single-pixel cameras exploiting artificial intelligence to identify statistical fluctuations in unknown light source mixtures. The award was granted on May 15, 2022 and runs through April 30, 2023.
