We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to superresolution optical imaging by combining quantum optics and near-field optics. Our concept involves the utilization of single-photon quantum emitters to generate a standalone evanescent wave. We demonstrate that the quantum interference effects of single-photon emitters, in conjunction with their near-field, result in a higher resolution of subwavelength structures than systems that are only quantum enhanced or only near-field enhanced. We believe that nano-sized emitters could be employed to accomplish the goals of this research, taking into account the current progress in nanophotonics and quantum optics technology.

利用量子发射器近场的亚波长分辨率

据我们所知，我们提出了一种结合量子光学和近场光学的新颖的超分辨率光学成像方法。我们的概念涉及利用单光子量子发射器来产生独立的倏逝波。我们证明，单光子发射器的量子干涉效应与其近场相结合，可以产生比仅量子增强或仅近场增强的系统更高的亚波长结构分辨率。考虑到纳米光子学和量子光学技术的当前进展，我们相信可以采用纳米尺寸发射器来实现这项研究的目标。
