Kramers-Kronig relations and precision limits in quantum phase estimation
arXiv:2107.10521 · doi:10.1364/OPTICA.440438
Abstract
The ultimate precision in any measurement is dictated by the physical process implementing the observation. The methods of quantum metrology have now succeeded in establishing bounds on the achievable precision for phase measurements over noisy channels. In particular, they demonstrate how the Heisenberg scaling of the precision can not be attained in these conditions. Here we discuss how the ultimate bound in presence of loss has a physical motivation in the Kramers-Kronig relations and we show how they link the precision on the phase estimation to that on the loss parameter.
