However, photon arrival times provide more information about emitter properties than the classical intensity alone. Here, we show that the Hanbury Brown and Twiss experiment (second-order correlation function) measures the intensity asymmetry of two single photon emitters, and that by combining the total number of detected photons with the zero-lag value of the correlation function, the positions and relative brightness of two emitters in two dimensions can be resolved from only three measurement positions -- trilateration, a result that is impossible to achieve on the basis of intensity measurements alone.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-10-03T12:19:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-particle sub-wavelength quantum correlation microscopy", "single photon emitters", "photon arrival times", "second-order correlation function", "measurement positions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
