Quantum-Enhanced Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes Using Quadrature Squeezing and Continuous-Variable Entanglement

For fiber-optic gyroscope designs, we analyze the quantum enhancement from quadrature-squeezed and entangled optical probe states for rotation sensing. Under realistic experimental constraints and fiber loss, we analytically show substantial variance suppression over classical sensors.

Quantum-Enhanced Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes Using Quadrature Squeezing and Continuous-Variable Entanglement

Michael R. Grace, Christos N. Gagatsos, Quntao Zhuang +1 more

We evaluate the fundamental performance of a fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) design that is enhanced by the injection of a quantum-optical squeezed vacuum. In the presence of fiber loss, we compute the optimum attainable enhancement below the standard quantum limit in terms of the angular velocity estimator variance from a homodyne measurement. We find that currently realizable amounts of single-mode squeezing are sufficient to access the maximum quantitative improvement, but that this gain in maximum rotation sensitivity is limited to a marginal constant factor. We then propose an entanglement-enhanced FOG design that segments a fixed amount of available fiber into multiple fiber interferometers and feeds this sensor array with a multimode-entangled squeezed vacuum resource. Our design raises the fundamental improvement in sensitivity to an appreciable factor of $e\ensuremath{\approx}2.718$.

Nonlinear fiber gyroscope for quantum metrology

Alfredo Luis, Irene Morales, ́Angel Rivas

We examine the performance of a nonlinear fiber gyroscope for improved signal detection beating the quantum limits of its linear counterparts. The performance is examined when the nonlinear gyroscope is illuminated by practical field states, such as coherent and quadrature squeezed states. This is compared with the case of more ideal probes such as photon-number states.

Entanglement-enhanced optical gyroscope

Matthias Fink, Fabian Steinlechner, Johannes Handsteiner +3 more

Abstract Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG) based on the Sagnac effect are a valuable tool in sensing and navigation and enable accurate measurements in applications ranging from spacecraft and aircraft to self-driving vehicles such as autonomous cars. As with any classical optical sensors, the ultimate performance of these devices is bounded by the shot-noise limit (SNL). Quantum-enhanced interferometry allows us to overcome this limit using non-classical states of light. Here, we report on an entangled-photon gyroscope that uses path-entangled NOON-states (N = 2) to provide super-resolution and phase sensitivity beyond the shot-noise limit.

Sensing and tracking enhanced by quantum squeezing

Chuan Xu, Lidan Zhang, Songtao Huang +5 more

Quantum sensing, along with quantum communications and quantum computing, is commonly considered as the most important application of quantum optics. Among the quantum-sensing experiments, schemes based on squeezed states of light are popular choices due to their natural quadrature components. Since the first experimental demonstration of quantum-squeezing-enhanced phase measurement beyond the shot-noise limit in 1987, quantum-squeezing techniques toward practical sensing and tracking have been extensively investigated. In this paper, we briefly review the recent developments of quantum squeezing and its applications in several advanced systems for measurements of position, rotation, dynamic motion, magnetic fields, and gravitational waves. We also introduce the recent experimental efforts to combine the quantum-squeezing lights into fiber sensing systems.
