Abstract

We study effects of phase fluctuations on NOON state’s sensitivity in presence of realistic noise. Phase sensitivity is investigated with parity detection and calculated quantum Fisher information shows lower bound saturates quantum Cramer-Rao bound.

Effects of phase fluctuations on phase sensitivity and visibility of path-entangled photon Fock states

Bhaskar Roy Bardhan, Kebei Jiang, Jonathan P. Dowling

We study effects of phase fluctuations on phase sensitivity and visibility of a class of robust path-entangled photon Fock states (known as $m{m}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ states) as compared to the maximally path-entangled NOON states in the presence of realistic phase fluctuations such as turbulence noise. Our results demonstrate that the $m{m}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ states, which are more robust than the NOON state against photon loss, perform equally well when subject to such fluctuations. We derive the quantum Fisher information with the phase-fluctuation noise and show that the phase sensitivity with parity detection for both of the above states saturates the quantum Cram\'er-Rao bound in the presence of such noise, suggesting that parity detection is an optimal detection strategy.

Quantum Cramer-Rao bound and parity measurement

Aravind Chiruvelli, Hwang Lee

We show, by using parity detection, that the phase estimate obtained from the linear error propagation formula, indeed saturates the lower bound set by maximizing quantum Fisher information for several of the well-known states, proposed for the Heisenberg limited interferometry. Our results show that one can achieve the quantum Cram´er-Rao bound, by simply counting the number of photons which is not very far from actual realization.

Experimental phase detection at the quantum limit with coherent state interferometry

We experimentally demonstrate phase sensitivity at the standard quantum limit independent of phase using Bayesian phase estimation. This technique is unbiased and saturates the Cramer-Rao lower bound representing the optimum technique using coherent states.

Parity detection achieves the Heisenberg limit in interferometry with coherent mixed with squeezed vacuum light

Kaushik Parasuram Seshadreesan, Petr M. Anisimov, Hwang Lee +1 more

The interference between coherent and squeezed vacuum light effectively produces path entangled N00N states with very high fidelities. We show that the phase sensitivity of the above interferometric scheme with parity detection saturates the quantum Cramer–Rao bound, which reaches the Heisenberg limit when the coherent and squeezed vacuum light are mixed in roughly equal proportions. For the same interferometric scheme, we draw a detailed comparison between parity detection and a symmetric-logarithmic-derivative-based detection scheme suggested by Ono and Hofmann.

Quantum Metrology with Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum: Parity Detection Beats the Heisenberg Limit

Petr M. Anisimov, Gretchen M. Raterman, Aravind Chiruvelli +4 more

We study the sensitivity and resolution of phase measurement in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two-mode squeezed vacuum (n photons on average). We show that superresolution and sub-Heisenberg sensitivity is obtained with parity detection. In particular, in our setup, dependence of the signal on the phase evolves n times faster than in traditional schemes, and uncertainty in the phase estimation is better than 1/n, and we saturate the quantum Cramer-Rao bound.
