We calculate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) for estimating, using a circular imaging aperture, the length of a uniformly bright incoherent line source with a fixed mid-point and the radius of a uniformly bright incoherent disk shaped source with a fixed center. Prolate spheroidal wavefunctions (PSWFs) on a centered line segment and its generalized version on a centered disk furnish the respective bases for computing the eigenstates and eigenvalues of the one-photon density operator, from which we subsequently calculate QFI with respect to the spatial parameters of the two sources. Zernike polynomials provide a good set into which to project the full source wavefront, and such classical wavefront projection data can realize quantum limited estimation error bound in each case. We subsequently generalize our approach to analyze sources of arbitrary brightness distributions and shapes using a certain class of Bessel Fourier functions that are closely related to the PSWFs. We illustrate the general approach by computing QFI for estimating the lengths of the principal axes of a uniformly bright, centered elliptical disk.

Optimal control can be used to significantly improve multi-qubit gates in quantum information processing hardware architectures based on superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics. We apply this approach not only to dispersive gates of two qubit
s inside a cavity, but, more generally, to architectures based on two-dimensional arrays of cavities and qubits. For high-fidelity gate operations, simultaneous evolutions of controls and couplings in the two coupling dimensions of cavity grids are shown to be significantly faster than conventional sequential implementations. Even under experimentally realistic conditions speedups by a factor of three can be gained. The methods immediately scale to large grids and indirect gates between arbitrary pairs of qubits on the grid. They are anticipated to be paradigmatic for 2D arrays and lattices of controllable qubits.
We analyze the ultimate quantum limit of resolving two identical sources in a noisy environment. We prove that in the presence of noise causing false excitation, such as thermal noise, the quantum Fisher information of arbitrary quantum states for th
e separation of the objects, which quantifies the resolution, always converges to zero as the separation goes to zero. Noisy cases contrast with a noiseless case where it has been shown to be nonzero for a small distance in various circumstances, revealing the superresolution. In addition, we show that false excitation on an arbitrary measurement, such as dark counts, also makes the classical Fisher information of the measurement approach to zero as the separation goes to zero. Finally, a practically relevant situation resolving two identical thermal sources, is quantitatively investigated by using the quantum and classical Fisher information of finite spatial mode multiplexing, showing that the amount of noise poses a limit on the resolution in a noisy system.
We analyze the fundamental resolution of incoherent optical point sources from the perspective of a quantum detection problem: deciding whether the optical field on the image plane is generated by one source or two weaker sources with arbitrary separ
ation. We investigate the detection performances of two measurement methods recently proposed by us to enhance the estimation of the separation. For the detection problem, we show that the method of binary spatial-mode demultiplexing is quantum-optimal for all values of separations, while the method of image-inversion interferometry is near-optimal for sub-Rayleigh separations. Unlike the proposal by Helstrom, our schemes do not require the separation to be given and can offer that information as a bonus in the event of a successful detection. For comparison, we also demonstrate the supremacy of our schemes over direct imaging for sub-Rayleigh separations. These results demonstrate that simple linear optical measurements can offer supremal performances for both detection and estimation.
We analyze the fundamental quantum limit of the resolution of an optical imaging system from the perspective of the detection problem of deciding whether the optical field in the image plane is generated by one incoherent on-axis source with brightne
ss $epsilon$ or by two $epsilon/2$-brightness incoherent sources that are symmetrically disposed about the optical axis. Using the exact thermal-state model of the field, we derive the quantum Chernoff bound for the detection problem, which specifies the optimum rate of decay of the error probability with increasing number of collected photons that is allowed by quantum mechanics. We then show that recently proposed linear-optic schemes approach the quantum Chernoff bound---the method of binary spatial-mode demultiplexing (B-SPADE) is quantum-optimal for all values of separation, while a method using image-inversion interferometry (SLIVER) is near-optimal for sub-Rayleigh separations. We then simplify our model using a low-brightness approximation that is very accurate for optical microscopy and astronomy, derive quantum Chernoff bounds conditional on the number of photons detected, and show the optimality of our schemes in this conditional detection paradigm. For comparison, we analytically demonstrate the superior scaling of the Chernoff bound for our schemes with source separation relative to that of spatially-resolved direct imaging. Our schemes have the advantages over the quantum-optimal (Helstrom) measurement in that they do not involve joint measurements over multiple modes, and that they do not require the angular separation for the two-source hypothesis to be given emph{a priori} and can offer that information as a bonus in the event of a successful detection.
We study three-body Schrodinger operators in one and two dimensions modelling an exciton interacting with a charged impurity. We consider certain classes of multiplicative interaction potentials proposed in the physics literature. We show that if the
impurity charge is larger than some critical value, then three-body bound states cannot exist. Our spectral results are confirmed by variational numerical computations based on projecting on a finite dimensional subspace generated by a Gaussian basis.
