Parameter-Decoupled Quantum Superresolution without Multiparameter Estimation — E8 Intelligence Research

Quantum superresolution promises to resolve closely spaced sources beyond the diffraction limit, but existing approaches generally rely on idealized source properties or require simultaneous estimation of multiple coupled parameters of realistic sources. Here we introduce a parameter-decoupled measurement that determines the separation of realistic passive sources without estimating their unknown brightness imbalance, mutual coherence, or relative phase. A complete four-parameter quantum Fisher information analysis identifies the separation information that remains accessible in the presence of these nuisance parameters. We then construct a directly measurable log-probability invariant from projection channels whose conditional statistics depend only on the separation. Broad classes of channel pairs satisfy the resulting decoupling condition. For a Gaussian point-spread function, the lowest-order implementation asymptotically attains the four-parameter quantum limit per incident signal Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
