Quantum limits of parameter estimation in long-baseline imaging by Aqil Sajjad, Michael R. Grace, Saikat Guha

“…We show how quantum-optimal measurements can be realized via beam-combination strategies of two classes: (1) multi-axial, where light from different apertures is directed to a common focal plane, e.g., of a segmented-aperture telescope; and (2) co-axial, where light collected at each aperture, e.g., telescope sites of a long-baseline array, is routed to an optical interferometer. …”
