Advancements in quantum imaging are transforming scientific research, offering unprecedented resolution and sensitivity for ...

The resolution of an optical system (like a telescope or a camera) is limited by the so-called Rayleigh criterion. An international team has broken this limit, showing that it is not a fundamental ...

MADRID, Oct. 14 (UPI) --The time-honored Rayleigh's curse has been dispelled in a study researchers say can lead to an overall improvement in various imaging technologies. Optical systems such as ...
