  26. Super-Resolution at the Shot-Noise Limit with Coherent States and Photon-Number-Resolving Detectors J. Opt. Soc. Am. B/Vol. 27, No. 6/June 2010 Y. Gao, C.F. Wildfeuer, P.M. Anisimov, H. Lee, J.P. Dowling We show that coherent light coupled with photon number resolving detectors — implementing parity detection — produces super-resolution much below the Rayleigh diffraction limit, with sensitivity at the shot-noise limit. Quantum Classical Parity Detector!

Quantum Metrology with Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum: Parity Detection Beats the Heisenberg Limit PRL 104, 103602 (2010) PM Anisimov, GM Raterman, A Chiruvelli, WN Plick, SD Huver, H Lee, JP Dowling We show that super-resolution and sub-Heisenberg sensitivity is obtained with parity detection. In particular, in our setup, dependence of the signal on the phase evolves <n> times faster than in traditional schemes, and uncertainty in the phase estimation is better than 1/<n>.

New Journal of Physics 12 (2010) 113025, 1367-2630/10/113025+12$30.00 Parity detection in quantum optical metrology without number-resolving detectors William N Plick, Petr M Anisimov, Jönåthán P Døwlîng, Hwang Lee, and Girish S Agarwal Abstract. We present a method for directly obtaining the parity of a Gaussian state of light without recourse to photon-number counting. The scheme uses only a simple balanced homodyne technique and intensity correlation. Thus interferometric schemes utilizing coherent or squeezed light and parity detection may be practically implemented for an arbitrary photon flux.
