Influence of decorrelation on Heisenberg-limited interferometry with quantum correlated photons
Abstract
The feasibility of a Heisenberg-limited phase measurement using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer fed with twin photon correlated light is investigated theoretically. To take advantage of the Heisenberg limit, $1/N$, for the phase sensitivity, one wants the number of correlated photons, $N$, to be high. This favors the use of parametric oscillation rather than the weaker but better correlated source given by parametric down-conversion. In real systems, decorrelation arising from photon absorption, mode mismatch, and nonideal detectors must be considered. In this paper we address the problem of detection when correlated photons are used as the input. We study the influence of photon statistics and of imperfect quantum correlation of the input light, and show that it is still possible to break the classical $1/\sqrt{N}$ phase sensitivity limit in nonideal experimental conditions. All the results are valid in the general case of quantum correlated bosons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
