Mathematical concepts of optical superresolution

J Lindberg - Journal of Optics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit, ie, optical superresolution, has been studied
extensively in various contexts. This paper presents an overview of some mathematical …

Weak values as interference phenomena

J Dressel - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
Weak values arise experimentally as conditioned averages of weak (noisy) observable
measurements that minimally disturb an initial quantum state, and also as dynamical …
