Information-theoretic perspective on performance assessment and fundamental limit of quantum imaging [Invited]
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Performance assessment of an imaging system is important for the optimization design with various technologies.The information-theoretic viewpoint based on communication theory or statistical inference theory can provide objective and operational measures on imaging performance.These approaches can be further developed by combining with the quantum statistical inference theory for optimizing imaging performance over measurements and analyze its quantum limits, which is demanded in order to improve an imaging system when the photon shot noise in the measurement is the dominant noise source.The aim of this review is to discuss and analyze the recent developments in this branch of quantum imaging.
