Enhancement of parameter estimation by Kerr interaction
arXiv:0906.0710 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.80.033842
Abstract
We address quantum estimation of displacement and squeezing parameters by the class of probes made of Gaussian states undergoing Kerr interaction. If we fix the overall energy available to the probe, without posing any constraint on the available Gaussian squeezing, then Gaussian squeezing represents the optimal resource for parameter estimation. On the other hand, in the more realistic case where the amount of Gaussian squeezing is fixed, or even absent, then Kerr interaction turns out to be useful to improve estimation, especially for probe states with large amplitude. Our results indicate that precision achievable with current technology Gaussian squeezing may be attained and surpassed for realistic values of the Kerr coupling.
