There are fundamental rules and principles setting the limits of physical systems. It triggers an interesting thought—can we break the limits under specific circumstances? A realistic system can only provide limited functionalities because its performance is physically constrained by some fundamental principles.‘Breaking the limit’, which usually implies that the capability of a system could be enhanced significantly, is intriguing in many research areas such as high-precision metrology, imaging and nanophotonics.The claim of ‘breaking the limit’can be generally divided into three categories. Firstly, the broken limit (such as standard quantum limit) is just a technical limit, but not a fundamental limit governed by basic physical principles (Fig. 1 a). Secondly, some limits (eg diffraction limits in optical focusing and imaging) are broken at the cost of sacrificing other performances of a system, as depicted in Fig. 1 b. Thirdly, most limits are generally derived with some prerequisites or assumptions. Once the working scenarios are changed or go beyond the prerequisite condition, the previous limit becomes invalid so that it can be broken (see Fig. 1 c). It would lead to some misunderstandings if the limits, such as the Heisenberg limit, time-bandwidth limit and efficiency limit, of metasurfaces were not elaborated precisely.
