Quantum interferometry via a coherent state mixed with a photon-added squeezed vacuum state
arXiv:1810.00131 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2019.03.068
Abstract
We theoretically investigate the phase sensitivity with parity detection on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a coherent state combined with a photon-added squeezed vacuum state. When the phase shift approaches zero, the squeezed vacuum state is indeed the optimal state within a constraint on the average number of photons. However, when the phase shift to be estimated slightly deviates from zero, the optimal state is neither the squeezed vacuum state nor the photon-subtracted squeezed vacuum state, but the photon-added squeezed vacuum state when they carry many photons. Finally, we show that the quantum Cramér-Rao bound can be reached by parity detection.
