Optimal quantum phase estimation.
By using a systematic optimization approach, we determine quantum states of light with definite photon number leading to the best possible precision in optical two-mode interferometry. Our treatment takes into account the experimentally relevant situation of photon losses. Our results thus reveal the benchmark for precision in optical interferometry. Although this boundary is generally worse th...
متن کاملOptimal quantum circuits for general phase estimation.
We address the problem of estimating the phase phi given N copies of the phase-rotation gate uphi. We consider, for the first time, the optimization of the general case where the circuit consists of an arbitrary input state, followed by any arrangement of the N phase rotations interspersed with arbitrary quantum operations, and ending with a general measurement. Using the polynomial method, we ...
متن کاملOptimal phase estimation in quantum networks
We address the problem of estimating the phase φ given N copies of the phase rotation uφ within an array of quantum operations in finite dimensions. We first consider the special case where the array consists of an arbitrary input state followed by any arrangement of the N phase rotations, and ending with a POVM. We optimise the POVM for a given input state and fixed arrangement. Then we also o...
متن کاملOptimal data processing for quantum measurements.
We consider the general measurement scenario in which the ensemble average of an operator is determined via suitable data processing of the outcomes of a quantum measurement described by a positive operator-valued measure. We determine the optimal processing that minimizes the statistical error of the estimation.
متن کاملOptimal Quantum Trajectories for Discrete Measurements
Using the method of quantum trajectories we show that a known pure state can be optimally monitored through time when subject to a sequence of discrete measurements. By modifying the way we extract information from the measurement apparatus we can minimise the average algorithmic information of the measurement record, without changing the unconditional evolution of the measured system. We deene...
