Optimal quantum phase estimation with generalized multi-component Schrödinger cat states

Abstract: In this paper, we are interested in detecting the presence of a nearby phase-sensitive object, where traveling light works out under a low-photon loss rate. Here we investigate the optimal quantum phase estimation with generalized multi-component Schrödinger cat states. In addition, we show the optimal conditions of the generalized multi-component cat states for the phase estimation in a lossless scenario. We then demonstrate that the generalized multi-component cat states can beat the performances of the NOON… Show more

“…In particular, SNSPD image sensors have recently been demonstrated (45,46), which, while currently having some limitations, could, in the future, be used for the required high-efficiency coincidence image detection. Last, future work will also focus on modifying our method to achieve enhanced phase imaging using other quantum states that have less demanding optical efficiency requirements than N00N states (47)(48)(49)(50)(51). We are therefore optimistic that the technological requirements for our method to yield a true quantum advantage over classical phase measurements will soon be met.…”

“…Interferometric phase sensing has been studied with various quantum states and measurements that beat the SQL and achieve the HL, including the twin-Fock state | N ⟩| N ⟩ incident into a MZI, the photon-number correlated state, , the TMSV state with parity detection, Schrödinger’s cat states, and multiheaded coherent states. , More details of these states and their performance can be found in ref .…”

“…This result explicitly shows that the non-Gaussian entanglement is indeed more resilient to local Gaussian noises as compared to Gaussian states. Non-Gaussian entanglement can be useful not only in the entanglement distribution but also in other tasks, for example, the multi-component cat states were shown to outperform two-mode squeezed vacuum states in phase estimation [42].…”
