High Precision Multi-parameter Weak Measurement with Hermite-Gaussian Pointer
arXiv:2310.06605 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.13.034023
Abstract
The weak value amplification technique has been proved useful for precision metrology in both theory and experiment. To explore the ultimate performance of weak value amplification for multi-parameter estimation, we investigate a general weak measurement formalism with assistance of high-order Hermite-Gaussian pointer and quantum Fisher information matrix. Theoretical analysis shows that the ultimate precision of our scheme is improved by a factor of square root of 2n+1, where n is the order of Hermite-Gaussian mode. Moreover, the parameters' estimation precision can approach the precision limit with maximum likelihood estimation method and homodyne method. We have also given a proof-of-principle experimental setup to validate the H-G pointer theory and explore its potential applications in precision metrology.
