Ultimate precision of joint quadrature parameter estimation with a Gaussian probe

Mark Bradshaw, Ping Koy Lam, Syed M. Assad

The Holevo Cram\'er-Rao bound is a lower bound on the sum of the mean-square error of estimates for parameters of a state. We provide a method for calculating the Holevo Cram\'er-Rao bound for estimation of quadrature mean parameters of a Gaussian state by formulating the problem as a semidefinite program. In this case, the bound is tight; it is attained by purely Gaussian measurements. We consider the example of a symmetric two-mode squeezed thermal state undergoing an unknown displacement on one mode. We calculate the Holevo Cram\'er-Rao bound for joint estimation of the conjugate parameters for this displacement. The optimal measurement is different depending on whether the state is entangled or separable.

Holevo Cramér-Rao bound for multi-parameter estimation in nonlinear interferometers

Mengyao Zhou, Ma, Hongmei, L. Q. Chen +2 more

Due to the potential of quantum advantage to surpass the standard quantum limit (SQL), the nonlinear interferometers have garnered significant attention from researchers in the field of precision measurement. However, many practical applications require multi-parameter estimation. In this work, we discuss the precision limit of multi-parameter estimation of pure Gaussian states based on nonlinear interferometers, and derive the Holevo Cramér-Rao Bound (HCRB) for the case where both modes undergo displacement estimation. Furthermore, we compare our analytical results with the quantum Cramér-Rao Bound based on the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD-CRB), and with the result of the dual homodyne measurement. Through numerical analysis, we find that the HCRB equals the result of the dual homodyne measurement, whereas SLD-CRB is not saturable at small squeezed parameters. Therefore, this indicates that the HCRB is tight. Additionally, we provide intuitive analysis and visual representation of our numerical results in phase space.
