Ancilla-assisted schemes are beneficial for Gaussian state phase estimation
arXiv:1811.10554 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.012124
Abstract
We study interferometry with Gaussian states and show that an ancilla-assisted scheme outperforms coherent state interferometry for all levels of loss. We also compare the ancilla-assisted scheme to other interferometric schemes involving squeezing, and show that it is the most advantage in the high-loss, high photon-number regime. In fact, in the presence of high loss, it out-performs many other strategies proposed to date. We find the optimal measurement observable for each scheme discussed. We also find that with the appropriate measurement, the achievable precision of the proposal by Caves [Phys. Rev. D 23, 1693 (1981)] can be improved upon, and is less vulnerable to losses than previously thought.
