Quantum Numbers

50.8K
It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

58.4K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Linear Circuits

A linear circuit is characterized by its output having a direct proportionality to its input, adhering to the linearity property, which encompasses the principles of homogeneity (scaling) and additivity. Homogeneity dictates that when the input, also referred to as the excitation, is multiplied by a constant factor, the output, known as the response, is correspondingly scaled by the same constant factor. For instance, if the current is multiplied by a constant 'k,' the voltage likewise...

Linear Equations

492
Linear equations form the foundation of many algebraic and real-world applications, characterized by their simplicity and utility. A linear equation is an algebraic statement in which each term is either a constant or a product of a constant and a single variable. These equations represent straight lines when plotted on a Cartesian coordinate plane, reflecting a constant rate of change between two quantities.A typical linear equation in one variable has the form: ax + b = c, where a, b, and c...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Linear-optical networks can achieve the Heisenberg limit in quantum metrology when photons are concentrated. However, distributing quantum resources across many modes limits their metrological capabilities, behaving classically.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Information Science
  • Quantum Metrology
  • Linear Optics

Background:

  • The Heisenberg limit represents the ultimate precision achievable in parameter estimation, a cornerstone of quantum metrology.
  • Linear-optical networks are fundamental building blocks in quantum information processing and optical quantum technologies.
  • Understanding the resource requirements for achieving the Heisenberg limit is crucial for advancing quantum sensing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive a bound on the precision of phase shift estimation using linear-optical networks with nonclassical input states.
  • To elucidate the quantum resources necessary for achieving the Heisenberg limit in multiport interferometers.
  • To determine the conditions under which linear networks can or cannot effectively utilize distributed quantum resources for metrology.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a theoretical bound on the estimation precision for linear combinations of independent phase shifts.
  • Analysis of the role of nonclassical, unentangled input states in linear-optical networks.
  • Investigation of the impact of photon distribution across multiple modes on metrological performance.

Main Results:

  • A bound is established for the metrological precision achievable by linear-optical networks with arbitrary nonclassical, unentangled input states.
  • Linear networks struggle to leverage quantum resources effectively when they are spread across many modes, exhibiting classical behavior in such scenarios.
  • The Heisenberg limit for distributed metrology can be achieved with linear networks if input photons are concentrated in a few modes.

Conclusions:

  • Linear-optical networks have limitations in exploiting widely distributed quantum resources for metrology, despite their ability to generate entanglement.
  • Concentrating quantum resources in fewer modes is key for linear networks to reach the Heisenberg limit in distributed metrology.
  • An explicit scheme is presented for achieving the Heisenberg limit in distributed metrology using linear-optical networks with concentrated input photons.
