Quantum enhanced multiple transmission estimation with a bright squeezed light field

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Recently, there has been significant interest in multiple-parameter quantum estimation techniques that exploit quantum resources. In particular, the estimation of optical transmission is a crucial parameter in various scientific fields and industries. In optical-based sensing, precision can be enhanced through two approaches: increasing the number of photons that interact with the samples and utilizing quantum states of light. In this paper, we investigate multiple transmission estimation using bright two-mode squeezed states (bTMSSs), which combine the advantages of both bright light and quantum states. We calculate the precision bound for multiple transmission estimation by employing multiple copies of bTMSSs with experimentally feasible optimal measurement, determining both the quantum Cramer-Rao bound and the Cramer-Rao bound. Our results demonstrate that multiple copies of bTMSSs can achieve quantum-enhanced sensitivity for multiple transmissions compared to coherent states, and the ultimate limit of precision can be attained in regions with high nonlinear gain. Furthermore, as an application, we show the quantum-enhanced sensing in circular dichroism sensing using a pair of bTMSSs. Our strategy for multiple transmission estimation offers a practical platform for exploring real-world quantum sensing applications.
