Phase problem

In physics, the phase problem is the problem of loss of information concerning the phase that can occur when making a physical measurement. The name comes from the field of X-ray crystallography, where the phase problem has to be solved for the determination of a structure from diffraction data.[1] The phase problem is also met in the fields of imaging and signal processing.[2] Various approaches of phase retrieval have been developed over the years.
