Abstract

The Fisher information $F$ gives a limit to the ultimate precision achievable in a phase estimation protocol. It has been shown recently that the Fisher information for a linear two-mode interferometer cannot exceed the number of particles if the input state is separable. As a direct consequence, with such input states the shot-noise limit is the ultimate limit of precision. In this work, we go a step further by deducing bounds on $F$ for several multiparticle entanglement classes. These bounds imply that genuine multiparticle entanglement is needed for reaching the highest sensitivities in quantum interferometry. We further compute similar bounds on the average Fisher information $\overline{F}$ for collective spin operators, where the average is performed over all possible spin directions. We show that these criteria detect different sets of states and illustrate their strengths by considering several examples, also using experimental data. In particular, the criterion based on $\overline{F}$ is able to detect certain bound entangled states.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The bound could be valid for non-Markovian dynamics as long as they admit a representation in terms of a CP map.

    “As a result, the bound could be valid for non Markovian dynamics as long as they admit a representation in terms of a CP map [38].”

  • The QFI connects to other aspects of quantum physics, such as quantum phase transition and entanglement witness.

    “Apart from quantum metrology, the QFI also connects to other aspects of quantum physics, such as quantum phase transition [18][19][20] and entanglement witness [21,22].”

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.
