The support recovery problem consists of determining a sparse subset of variables that is relevant in generating a set of observations. In this paper, we study the support recovery problem in the phase retrieval model consisting of noisy phaseless measurements, which arises in a diverse range of settings such as optical detection, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and coherent diffractive imaging. Our focus is on informationtheoretic fundamental limits under an approximate recovery
criterion, with Gaussian measurements and a simple discrete
model for the sparse non-zero entries. Our bounds provide sharp
thresholds with near-matching constant factors in several scaling
regimes on the sparsity and signal-to-noise ratio
