Quantum-Enhanced Imaging of Trapped Ions

Abstract

All Tasks of the project are now complete. We have successfully demonstrated the essential aspects of quantum-enhanced imaging, including imaging resolution to within less than 10 percent of the beam width, scaling of the imaging resolution that approaches the Heisenberg limit, and implementation of the binary search algorithm for the trapped ion. The program accomplishments are described in more detail below. At the end of this report, we discuss the prospects for future work in this area.
