Abstract

High precision measurements are performed everyday through sensors already present in many modern technological applications. The challenge of reaching the maximum accuracy, building more powerful devices, can be done only using quantum effects [1]. The field that studies how to improve the sensitivity of measurements is Quantum Metrology. Quantum metrology techniques have been extensively adopted to perform static measurements in many scenarios, showing that multi-photon entangled states, may achieve the ultimate bound on sensitivity.

Entanglement-enhanced precision metrology and sensing with integrated photonics

Galan Moody, Trevor J. Steiner

Quantum sensing and measurement devices are reaching a new level of accuracy for high-precision measurements, allowing detection of the most minute changes in magnetic, electric, and strain fields, gravity, and time. In this talk, I will present an overview of how integrated photonic and nanophotonic devices utilize entanglement to improve measurement accuracy and sensitivity. Examples will include the development of ultrabright and ultra-efficient quantum light sources as resources for sensors, integrated photonic magnetometry with exquisite sensitivity that can be further enhanced with squeezing, and strain sensors based on optomechanical modulation of quantum emitters via surface acoustic wave resonators.

More buck-per-shot: Why learning trumps mitigation in noisy quantum sensing

Aroosa Ijaz, C. Huerta Alderete, Frédéric Sauvage +3 more

Quantum sensing is one of the most promising applications for quantum technologies . However, reaching the ultimate sensitivities enabled by the laws of quantum mechanics can be a challenging task in realistic scenarios where noise is present. While several strategies have been proposed to deal with the detrimental effects of noise, these come at the cost of an extra shot budget. Given that shots are a precious resource for sensing – as infinite measurements could lead to infinite precision – care must be taken to truly guarantee that any shot not being used for sensing is actually leading to some metrological improvement. In this work, we study whether investing shots in error-mitigation, inference techniques, or combinations thereof, can improve the sensitivity of a noisy quantum sensor on a (shot) budget. We present a detailed bias–variance error analysis for various sensing protocols. Our results show that the costs of zero-noise extrapolation techniques outweigh their benefits. We also find that pre-characterizing a quantum sensor via inference techniques leads to the best performance, under the assumption that the sensor is sufficiently stable.

Quantum Sensing with Multi-Parameter Quantum State Control

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the potential of multi-parameter quantum state control for enhancing the performance of quantum sensors. The core claim centers on leveraging precisely controlled quantum states to achieve highly accurate measurements of multiple physical parameters simultaneously. The proposed mechanism involves manipulating quantum states with multiple parameters, allowing for correlated measurements and improved sensitivity. This work explores theoretical frameworks and outlines a strategy for developing quantum sensors that benefit from this approach. The paper focuses on the design principles and challenges associated with implementing such a system, emphasizing the role of quantum entanglement and coherence in achieving high precision. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate how multi-parameter quantum state control can unlock new possibilities for quantum sensing applications, particularly in areas demanding simultaneous measurement of diverse physical quantities. This research contributes to the growing field of quantum sensing by proposing a novel method that could significantly improve sensor accuracy and expand its capabilities.
