纠缠辅助光学干涉测量承诺在光无法物理合成的基线上实现衍射极限成像，但现有理论仅处理单条双站基线上的单一可见度。本研究针对M站阵列对扩展场景成像，构建了多参数估计问题。一个约化引理表明，多模量子Fisher信息（QFI）等于平均光子数乘以单个离域光子的QFI，从而将问题简化为有限维问题。局域光子数超选择定则（SSR）从裸态中抹去所有相位信息，而共享纠缠在配备r对纠缠的基线上恢复了QFI的分数f(r)=r/(1+r)——该因子被证明是可实现的，因为任意一对的约化双模态恰好是双站弱热态。QFI矩阵及其平均Uhlmann曲率的数值结果显示，点源是测量兼容的，而对于所检验的每个扩展源模型则是不兼容的，Holevo界超过对称对数导数（SLD）界高达约74%。一个显式的集体接收机——全局模式排序（量子傅里叶变换）测量——随后达到加权方差在SLD界的约7%以内，且比显式成对接收机低约一个数量级；一个噪声资源优势阈值给出了盈亏平衡基线（近期参数下约20公里），超过该基线，中继器分布的纠缠优于直接传输。最后，有限纠缠预算的最优分配是一个凸规划，具有闭式比例（平方根律）解，偏向低可见度基线。这些结果将量子孔径合成重新定义为集体多参数估计，并给出了具体的设计目标，以CHARA阵列为例进行了说明。
英文摘要
Entanglement-assisted optical interferometry promises diffraction-limited imaging over baselines where light cannot be physically combined, but existing theory treats only a single visibility on one two-station baseline. This work formulates the multiparameter estimation problem for an M-station array imaging an extended scene. A reduction lemma shows that the multimode quantum Fisher information (QFI) equals the mean photon number times the QFI of a single delocalized photon, collapsing the problem to a finite-dimensional one. The local photon-number superselection rule (SSR) erases all phase information from the bare state, while shared entanglement restores a fraction f(r)=r/(1+r) of the QFI on a baseline supplied with r pairs -- a factor shown to be achievable, since the reduced two-mode state of any pair is exactly the two-station weak-thermal state. The QFI matrix and its mean Uhlmann curvature reveal numerically that a point source is measurement-compatible, whereas for every extended-source model examined it is incompatible, the Holevo bound exceeding the symmetric-logarithmic-derivative (SLD) bound by up to ~74%. An explicit collective receiver -- a global mode-sorting (quantum Fourier transform) measurement -- then attains a weighted variance within ~7% of the SLD bound and roughly an order of magnitude below an explicit pairwise receiver, and a noisy-resource advantage threshold gives the break-even baseline (~20 km for near-term parameters) beyond which repeater-distributed entanglement beats direct transmission. Finally, the optimal allocation of a finite entanglement budget is a convex program with a closed-form proportional (square-root-law) solution favoring low-visibility baselines. These results recast quantum aperture synthesis as collective multiparameter estimation and give concrete design targets, illustrated on the CHARA array.
