Fundamental Sensitivity Limits for non-Hermitian Quantum Sensors
arXiv:2304.08374 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.160801
Abstract
Considering non-Hermitian systems implemented by utilizing enlarged quantum systems, we determine the fundamental limits for the sensitivity of non-Hermitian sensors from the perspective of quantum information. We prove that non-Hermitian sensors do not outperform their Hermitian counterparts (directly couples to the parameter) in the performance of sensitivity, due to the invariance of the quantum information about the parameter. By scrutinizing two concrete non-Hermitian sensing proposals, which are implemented using full quantum systems, we demonstrate that the sensitivity of these sensors is in agreement with our predictions. Our theory offers a comprehensive and model-independent framework for understanding the fundamental limits of non-Hermitian quantum sensors and builds the bridge over the gap between non-Hermitian physics and quantum metrology.
