Abstract
The resolution of optical systems, formulated as the smallest possible distance between two point sources for which they still can be dissolved, was for a long time believed to be limited by diffraction, formulated by the Rayleigh criterion. Recent advancements in quantum metrology have shown, by evaluation of the Quantum Cramér Rao bound (QCRB), that the Rayleigh criterion is not a fundamental limit. In our experiment, spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) is used to estimate the separation of the sources orders of magnitude below the Rayleigh limit. The experiment is extended to incorporate the measurement of additional parameters, such as power imbalance and centroid position of the two sources, bringing it closer to real-world applicability.
