We present a scheme for nanoscopic imaging of a quantum mechanical two-level system using an optical probe in the far-field. Existing super-resolution schemes require more than two-levels and depend on an incoherent response to the lasers. Here, quantum control of the two states proceeds via rapid adiabatic passage. We implement this scheme on an array of semiconductor self-assembled quantum dots. Each quantum dot results in a bright spot in the image with extents down to 30 nm ({\lambda}/31). Rapid adiabatic passage is established as a versatile tool in the super-resolution toolbox.
