Optimal entangled coherent states in lossy quantum-enhanced metrology
arXiv:1906.05402 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.012332
Abstract
We investigate an optimal distance of two components in an entangled coherent state for quantum phase estimation in lossy interferometry. The optimal distance is obtained by an economical point, representing the quantum Fisher information that we can extract per input energy. Maximizing the formula of the quantum Fisher information over an input mean photon number, we show that, as the losses of the interferometer increase, it can be more beneficial to prepare an initially entangled coherent state that is less entangled. This represents that the optimal distance of the two-mode components decreases with more loss in the interferometry. Under the constraint of the input mean photon number, we obtain that the optimal entangled coherent state is more robust than a separable coherent state, even in a high photon loss rate. The optimal entangled coherent state preserves quantum advantage over the standard interferometric limit of the separable coherent state. We also show that the corresponding optimal measurement requires correlation measurement bases.
