Loss-tolerant quantum dense metrology with SU(1,1) interferometer

Heisenberg uncertainty relation in quantum mechanics sets the limit on the measurement precision of non-commuting observables in one system, which prevents us from measuring them accurately at the same time. However, quantum entanglement between two systems allows us to infer through Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations two conjugate observables with precision better than what is allowed by Heisenberg uncertainty relation. With the help of the newly developed SU(1,) interferometer, we implement a scheme to jointly measure information encoded in multiple non-commuting observables of an optical field with a signal-to-noise ratio improvement of about 20% over the classical limit on all measured quantities simultaneously. This scheme can be generalized to the joint measurement of information in arbitrary number of non-commuting observables.
