A recent experiment has demonstrated the quantum nature of spatial fluctuations in the high gain regime of parametric down-conversion. We show theoretically and numerically that, by exploiting the local character of these spatial correlations, it is possible to image weak amplitude objects with a sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit.

Abstract
A recent experiment has demonstrated the quantum nature of spatial fluctuations in the high gain regime of parametric down-conversion. We show theoretically and numerically that, by exploiting the local character of these spatial correlations, it is possible to image weak amplitude objects with a sensitivity beyond the standard quantum limit.
