Achieving the Ultimate Quantum Timing Resolution

چکیده
Accurate time-delay measurement is at the core of many modern technologies. Here, we present a temporal-mode demultiplexing scheme that achieves ultimate quantum precision for simultaneous estimation temporal centroid, time offset, and relative intensities an incoherent mixture ultrashort pulses single-photon level. We experimentally resolve separations ten times smaller than pulse duration, as well imbalanced differing by factor $10^{2}$. This represents improvement more order magnitude over best standard methods based on intensity detection.

Quantum Computation—The Ultimate Frontier
The discovery of an algorithm for factoring which runs in polynomial time on a quantum computer has given rise to a concerted effort to understand the principles, advantages, and limitations of quantum computing. At the same time, many different quantum systems are being explored for their suitability to serve as a physical substrate for the quantum computer of the future. I discuss some of the...
متن کاملQuantum Reduction the Ultimate Outcome of Decoherence ?
Whereas decoherence has been much studied theoretically, little attention was given to the difference between the full quantum density matrix and the decoherent one. Although inaccessible to experiment, it never vanishes and keeps in principle a phase memory of everything in the past. Its investigation is applied here to the influence of the external universe on a macroscopically isolated syste...

متن کاملUltimate Resolution in the Framework of Parameter Estimation
This paper describes two possible points of view on twoobject resolution in the context of model-fitting theory. Thereby, it is stated that the precision and the accuracy with which the locations of the objects can be estimated will determine the attainable resolution. The first approach describes the probability of resolution, that is the probability that the estimated locations will be distin...
