Optimal Dose-Limited Phase Estimation without Entanglement

Stewart A. Koppell, Mark A. Kasevich

Phase estimation is one of the most important facets of quantum metrology, with applications in sensing, microscopy, and quantum computation. When estimating a phase shift in a lossy medium, there is an upper bound on the attainable information per particle sent through the phase shift. Previously, only entanglement-enhanced measurements have been shown to saturate this bound. We introduce a measurement scheme which can saturate the bound without relying on entanglement.

Lossy quantum-optical metrology with squeezed states

Xiao-Xiao Zhang, Yuxiang Yang, Xiang‐Bin Wang

We study the precise phase estimation using squeezed states in the presence of photon loss. Our exact quantum Fisher information calculation shows significant enhancement even though the loss is very large and sets a benchmark for experimental realization. We show that if we blindly use the existing parity measurement scheme [Anisimov et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 103602 (2010)] for the ideal case, the result will be even worse than the classical case given very small loss. Using our formulas, we can optimize the measurement result by making loss-dependent phase shift and choosing appropriate squeezed states (average photon number of squeezed states).

Quantum metrology with SU(1,1) coherent states in the presence of nonlinear phase shifts

K. Berrada

We present an improved phase estimation scheme employing entangled SU(1,1) coherent states in comparison to NOON and entangled coherent states under perfect and lossy conditions for a fixed mean photon number. The study is also devoted to the phase enhancement of the quantum states resulting from a generalized nonlinearity of the phase shifts, both without and with losses. Furthermore, we show that these states give the smallest variance in the phase parameter for a large number of photons in a different order of nonlinearity. Finally, the phase sensitivity of this interferometric setting with parity detection is discussed.
