    "abstract": "The proposal of quantum lithography [Boto et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2733\n(2000)] is studied via a rigorous formalism. It is shown that, contrary to Boto\net al.\u0027s heuristic claim, the multiphoton absorption rate of a ``NOON\u0027\u0027 quantum\nstate is actually lower than that of a classical state with otherwise identical\nparameters. The proof-of-concept experiment of quantum lithography [D\u0027Angelo et\nal., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 013602 (2001)] is also analyzed in terms of the\nproposed formalism, and the experiment is shown to have a reduced multiphoton\nabsorption rate in order to emulate quantum lithography accurately. Finally,\nquantum lithography by the use of a jointly Gaussian quantum state of light is\ninvestigated, in order to illustrate the trade-off between resolution\nenhancement and multiphoton absorption rate.",
