Quantum-enhanced multiparameter estimation in multiarm interferometers
Quantum metrology is the state-of-the-art measurement technology. It uses quantum resources to enhance the sensitivity of phase estimation over that achievable by classical physics. While single parameter estimation theory has been widely investigated, much less is known about the simultaneous estimation of multiple phases, which finds key applications in imaging and sensing. In this manuscript...
متن کاملOn detecting absolute quantum mechanical phase differences with superfluid interferometers
We show through numerical simulations that absolute quantum mechanical phase differences could be observed using an asymmetric superfluid quantum interference grating. By balancing the dynamic range and the degree of change required per period in an interference pattern, a device could be optimized and used to probe heretofore inaccessible quantum subtleties. We make connections to experimental...
متن کاملQuantum cryptography with polarizing interferometers
In the Ekert cryptographic scheme (E91) [1] pairs of EPR particles were used to generate identical sequences of bits in remote places, while Bell’s theorem certified that the particles were not measured in transit by an eavesdropper. The modification of the Ekert scheme proposed by Bennett, Brassard and Mermin (BBM92) [2] did not use the Bell theorem and was based essentially on the fact that t...
متن کاملSupplementary Information: Quantum-enhanced multiparameter estimation in multiarm interferometers
To prove Eq. (S1) we recall that the square root of the positive definite Fisher matrix is given by the matrix with the same (orthonormal) eigenvectors as F and the square root of its eigenvalues. We indicate as fi > 0 and vi (with v> i vj = δi,j) the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of F, respectively (Fvi = fivi). Notice that F is real and symmetric and thus diagonalize. In addition, F is positiv...
متن کاملOptimal 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...
