Multicolor quantum metrology with entangled photons.
Entangled photons can be used to make measurements with an accuracy beyond that possible with classical light. While most implementations of quantum metrology have used states made up of a single color of photons, we show that entangled states of two colors can show supersensitivity to optical phase and path length by using a photonic crystal fiber source of photon pairs inside an interferomete...
متن کاملUltrafast sources of entangled photons for quantum information processing
Recent advances in quantum information processing (QIP) have enabled practical applications of quantum mechanics in various fields such as cryptography, computation, and metrology. Most of these applications use photons as carriers of quantum information. Therefore, engineering the quantum state of photons is essential for the realization of novel QIP schemes. A practical and flexible technique...
متن کاملEntangled Fock states for robust quantum optical metrology, imaging, and sensing
We propose a class of path-entangled photon Fock states for robust quantum optical metrology, imaging, and sensing in the presence of loss. We model propagation loss with beam splitters and derive a reduced densitymatrix formalism from which we examine how photon loss affects coherence. It is shown that particular entangled number states, which contain a special superposition of photons in both...
متن کاملQuantum metrology with entangled photons
Although most physics experiments are carried out with independent particles, it is the collective nature of entangled particles that reveals the most fascinating and unexpected aspects of the quantum world. It was Erwin Schrödinger who first said “entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics”. One curious aspect of the behavior of a pair of particles in an e...
متن کاملQuantum optical metrology – the lowdown on high-N00N states
Quantum states of light, such as squeezed states or entangled states, can be used to make measurements (metrology), produce images, and sense objects with a precision that far exceeds what is possible classically, and also exceeds what was once thought to be possible quantum mechanically. The primary idea is to exploit quantum effects to beat the shot-noise limit in metrology and the Rayleigh d...
