On the connection between quantum nonlocality and phase sensitivity of two-mode entangled Fock state superpositions

Kaushik Parasuram Seshadreesan, Christoph F. Wildfeuer, Moochan B. Kim +2 more

In two-mode interferometry, for a given total photon number N, entangled Fock state superpositions of the form (Formula presented.) have been considered for phase estimation. Indeed all such states are maximally mode-entangled and violate a Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality. However, they differ in their optimal phase estimation capabilities as given by their quantum Fisher informations. The quantum Fisher information is the largest for the N00N state (Formula presented.) and decreases for the other states with decreasing photon number difference between the two modes. We ask the question whether for any particular Clauser–Horne (CH) (or CHSH) inequality, the maximal values of the CH (or the CHSH) functional for the states of the above type follow the same trend as their quantum Fisher informations, while also violating the classical bound whenever the states are capable of sub-shot-noise phase estimation, so that the violation can be used to quantify sub-shot-noise sensitivity. We explore CH and CHSH inequalities in a homodyne setup. Our results show that the amount of violation in those nonlocality tests may not be used to quantify sub-shot-noise sensitivity of the above states.

Optical enhanced interferometry with two-mode squeezed twin-Fock states and parity detection*

Li-Li Hou, Shuai Wang, Xuefen Xu

We theoretically investigate the quantum enhanced metrology using two-mode squeezed twin-Fock states and parity detection. Our results indicate that, for a given initial squeezing parameter, compared with the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, both phase sensitivity and resolution can be enhanced when the two-mode squeezed twin-Fock state is considered as an input state of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. Within a constraint on the total photon number, although the two-mode squeezed vacuum state gives the better phase sensitivity when the phase shift φ to be estimated approaches to zero, the phase sensitivity offered by these non-Gaussian entangled Gaussian states is relatively stable with respect to the phase shift itself. When the phase shift slightly deviates from φ = 0, the phase sensitivity can be still enhanced by the two-mode squeezed twin-Fock state over a broad range of the total mean photon number where the phase uncertainty is still below the quantum standard noise limit. Finally, we numerically prove that the quantum Cramér–Rao bound can be approached with the parity detection.

Bright-mode parity synthesis for bosonic state transfer through a single ancilla

Pradip Laha, Peter van Loock

Bosonic modes provide hardware-efficient quantum memories and logical registers, including highly non-Gaussian encoded states, but transferring finite-dimensional bosonic states through a restricted ancilla interface requires identifying which collective mode is actually controlled. We study a restricted setting in which two oscillators couple with opposite signs to a single two-level ancilla. In the normal-mode basis, the symmetric mode is dark, while transfer between the physical modes is equivalent to synthesizing parity on the antisymmetric bright mode. This reduction gives exact finite-sum transfer formulas for Fock states, Fock-state qubits, and finite Fock superpositions, and explains why resonant single-ancilla transfer is recurrence-limited beyond the single-photon sector. We then show that detuned Jaynes--Cummings evolution provides a native two-parameter route to high-fidelity finite-cutoff parity synthesis, with residual ancilla excitation, calibration sensitivity, and a minimal Markovian noise estimate quantified separately. Bosonic-code examples illustrate how transfer sensitivity is governed by photon-number support and residual bright-mode phase errors. The result provides a practical benchmark and organizing principle for constrained ancilla-mediated bosonic transfer when direct exchange is unavailable or undesirable.
