Phase sensitivity bounds for two-mode interferometers
arXiv:1408.6971 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.91.032103
Abstract
We provide general bounds of phase estimation sensitivity in linear two-mode interferometers. We consider probe states with a fluctuating total number of particles. With incoherent mixtures of state with different total number of particles, particle entanglement is necessary but not sufficient to overcome the shot noise limit. The highest possible phase estimation sensitivity, the Heisenberg limit, is established under general unbiased properties of the estimator. When coherences can be created, manipulated and detected, a phase sensitivity bound can only be set in the central limit, with a sufficiently large repetition of the interferometric measurement.
comments and remarks are welcome
