Optimum quantum resource distribution for phase measurement and quantum information tapping in a dual-beam SU(1,1)
Abstract:
Quantum entanglement is a resource in quantum metrology that can be distributed to two conjugate physical quantities for the enhancement of their measurement sensitivity. This is demonstrated in the joint measurement of phase and amplitude modulation signals in quantum dense metrology schemes. We can also devote all the quantum resource to phase measurement only, leading to the optimum sensitivity enhancement. In this paper, we experimentally implement a dual-beam sensing scheme in an SU(1,1) interferometer for the optimum quantum enhancement of phase measurement sensitivity. We demonstrate a 3.9-dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio over the optimum classical method, and this is 3-dB better than the traditional single-beam scheme. Furthermore, such as cheme also realizes a quantum optical tap of quantum entangled fields and has the full advantages of an SU(1,1) interferometer, such as detection loss tolerance, making it more suitable for practical applications in quantum metrology and quantum information.
