We study the stationary and nonstationary measurement of a classical force driving a mechanical oscillator coupled to an electromagnetic cavity under two-tone driving. For this purpose, we develop a theoretical framework based on the signal-to-noise ratio to quantify the sensitivity of linear spectral measurements. Then, we consider stationary force sensing and study the necessary conditions to minimise the added force noise. We find that imprecision noise and back-action noise can be arbitrarily suppressed by manipulating the amplitudes of the input coherent fields, however, the force noise power spectral density cannot be reduced below the level of thermal fluctuations. Therefore, we consider a nonstationary protocol that involves non-thermal dissipative state preparation followed by a finite time measurement, which allows one to perform measurements with a signal-to-noise much greater than the maximum possible in a stationary measurement scenario. We analyse two different measurement schemes in the nonstationary transient regime, a back-action evading measurement, which implies modifying the drive asymmetry configuration upon arrival of the force, and a nonstationary measurement that leaves the drive asymmetry configuration unchanged. Conditions for optimal force noise sensitivity are determined, and the corresponding force noise power spectral densities are calculated.

We show that any optical dissipative structure supported by degenerate optical parametric oscillators contains a special transverse mode that is free from quantum fluctuations when measured in a balanced homodyne detection experiment. The phenomenon is not critical as it is independent of the system parameters and, in particular, of the existence of bifurcations. This result is a consequence of the spatial symmetry breaking introduced by the dissipative structure. Effects that could degrade the squeezing level are considered.
State-of-the-art sensors of force, motion and magnetic fields have reached the sensitivity where the quantum noise of the meter is significant or even dominant. In particular, the sensitivity of the best optomechanical devices has reached the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL), which directly follows from the Heisenberg uncertainty relation and corresponds to balancing the measurement imprecision and the perturbation of the probe by the quantum back action of the meter. The SQL is not truly fundamental and several methods for its overcoming have been proposed and demonstrated. At the same time, two quantum sensitivity constraints which are more fundamental are known. The first limit arises from the finiteness of the probing strength (in the case of optical interferometers - of the circulating optical power) and is known as the Energetic Quantum Limit or, in a more general context, as the Quantum Cram{e}r-Rao Bound (QCRB). The second limit arises from the dissipative dynamics of the probe, which prevents full efficacy of the quantum back action evasion techniques developed for overcoming the SQL. No particular name has been assigned to this limit; we propose the term Dissipative Quantum Limit (DQL) for it. Here we develop a unified theory of these two fundamental limits by deriving the general sensitivity constraint from which they follow as particular cases. Our analysis reveals a phase transition occurring at the boundary between the QCRB-dominated and the DQL regimes, manifested by the discontinuous derivatives of the optimal spectral densities of the meter field quantum noise. This leads to the counter-intuitive (but favorable) finding that quantum-limited sensitivity can be achieved with certain lossy meter systems. Finally, we show that the DQL originates from the non-autocommutativity of the internal thermal noise of the probe and that it can be overcome in non-stationary measurements.
Quantum squeezing of mechanical resonator is important for studying the macroscopic quantum effects and the precision metrology of weak forces. Here we give a theoretical study of a hybrid atom-optomechanical system in which the steady-state squeezing of the mechanical resonator can be generated via the mechanical nonlinearity and cavity cooling process. The validity of the scheme is assessed by simulating the steady-state variance of the mechanical displacement quadrature numerically. The scheme is robust against dissipation of the optical cavity, and the steady-state squeezing can be effectively generated in a highly dissipative cavity.
The emergence of parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry has greatly enriched our study of symmetry-enabled non-Hermitian physics, but the realization of quantum $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry faces an intrinsic issue of unavoidable symmetry-breaking Langevin noises. Here we construct a quantum pseudo-anti-$% mathcal{PT}$ (pseudo-$mathcal{APT}$) symmetry in a two-mode bosonic system without involving Langevin noises. We show that the pseudo-$mathcal{APT}$ phase transition across the exceptional point yields a transition between different types of quantum squeezing behaviors, textit{i.e.}, the squeezing factor increases exponentially (oscillates periodically) with time in the pseudo-$mathcal{APT}$ symmetric (broken) region. Such dramatic changes of squeezing factors and associated quantum states near the exceptional point are utilized for ultra-precision quantum sensing with divergent sensitivity. These exotic quantum phenomena and sensing applications induced by quantum pseudo-$mathcal{APT}$ symmetry can be experimentally observed in two physical systems: spontaneous wave mixing nonlinear optics and atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.
We investigate the squeezed regions in the phase plane for non-dissipative dynamical systems controlled by SU(1,1) Lie algebra. We analyze such study for the two SU(1,1) generalized coherent states, namely, the Perelomov coherent state (PCS) and the Barut-Girardello Coherent state (BGCS).
