In this talk I will highlight some of the recent developments in quantum imaging and its relation to quantum metrology. I start with a brief, semi-technical review of the central role that the Fisher information plays in parameter estimation, and how this is extended to quantum mechanics. Then I will describe imaging as a special kind of metrology, and explore how quantum coherence in multi-photon correlations can increase the imaging resolution. I will conclude with some open questions and future directions.
