Abstract In a conventional quantum imaging experiment, the image of object is retrieved directly with single photon camera technology, or computationally single‐pixel detector and pixelated projective masks. all these approaches, resolution dictated by pixel detection devices. this paper, traditional spatial basis pixels replaced modes, exploiting their unique features to enhance fidelity improve reconstruction accuracy through modal sparsity. This approach can be used even when modes are not orthogonal, demonstrating principle highly efficient phase‐only approximations basis. By numerical simulation experimental analysis, advantages illustrated, which include faster convergence object, higher signals fidelity, demonstrated an order magnitude less masks than approaches for same in outcome. Unlike pixels, detectors, opening path high‐resolution complex objects.

Abstract Reconnections of spatiotemporal optical vortices have been shown to occur between line vortices. Here, we show that reconnections also loop in waves. As propagate a media with spatial diffraction and material group velocity dispersion, unique occur. The birth death loops can occur, certain emerging from or collapsing single point while interacting others. parameters are varied the model, complex arrangements form space-time simple initial fields.
