Beating the Standard Quantum Limit with Four-Entangled Photons
Abstract
Precision measurements are important across all fields of science. In particular, optical phase measurements can be used to measure distance, position, displacement, acceleration, and optical path length. Quantum entanglement enables higher precision than would otherwise be possible. We demonstrated an optical phase measurement with an entangled four-photon interference visibility greater than the threshold to beat the standard quantum limit—the limit attainable without entanglement. These results open the way for new high-precision measurement applications.

Higher Bell state discrimination success rates can be achieved with nonlinear optics, entanglement in auxiliary modes, or feed-forward techniques.
“Higher success rates can be achieved with nonlinear optics [73], entanglement in auxiliary modes [74,75], or feed-forward techniques [76].”
From Two-photon interference: the Hong–Ou–Mandel effect (2021) · cites this paper as [73]
The paper’s discussion of the four-photon interferometer and its results (main text, Fig. 3; page not provided) concerns phase sensitivity, not Bell-state discrimination. Its discussion of distinguishing two four-photon input states (main text, Fig. 2, and Additional information; pages not provided) does not address whether auxiliary-mode entanglement improves Bell-state discrimination success rates. Searches for Bell-state discrimination, auxiliary modes, nonlinear optics, and feed-forward found no passage supporting the attributed point. (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
