“…Astronomical images obtained form the ground suffer from serious degradation of resolution, because the light passes through a turbulent medium (the atmosphere) [1] before reaching the detector. A number of methods was developed to alleviate this phenomenon [2,3,4,5] and multiple special-case solutions were implemented as well (e.g. [6]), but none of them is able to provide a perfect correction and restore the diffraction-limited (DL) image.…”

Quantum Telescope is a recent idea aimed at beating the diffraction limit of spaceborne telescopes and possibly also other distant target imaging systems. There is no agreement yet on the best setup of such devices, but some configurations have been already proposed. In this Letter we characterize the predicted performance of Quantum Telescopes and their possible limitations. Our extensive simulations confirm that the presented model of such instruments is feasible and the device can provide considerable gains in the angular resolution of imaging in the UV, optical and infrared bands. We argue that it is generally possible to construct and manufacture such instruments using the latest or soon to be available technology. We refer to the latest literature to discuss the feasibility of the proposed QT system design.
