We theoretically derive the lower and upper bounds of quantum Fisher information (QFI) of an SU(1,1) interferometer whatever the input state chosen. According to the QFI, the crucial resource for quantum enhancement is shown to be large intramode correlations indicated by the Mandel $Q$-parameter. For a photon-subtracted squeezed vacuum state with high super-Poissonian statistics in one input port and a coherent state in the other input port, the quantum Cram{e}r-Rao bound of the SU(1,1) interferometer can beat $1/langlehat{N}rangle$ scaling in presence of large fluctuations in the number of photons, with a given fixed input mean number of photons. The definition of the Heisenberg limit (HL) should take into account the amount of fluctuations. The HL considering the number fluctuation effect may be the ultimate phase limit.

The quantum stochastic phase estimation has many applications in the precise measurement of various physical parameters. Similar to the estimation of a constant phase, there is a standard quantum limit for stochastic phase estimation, which can be ob tained with the Mach-Zehnder interferometer and coherent input state. Recently, it has been shown that the stochastic standard quantum limit can be surpassed with non-classical resources such as the squeezed light. However, practical methods to achieve the quantum enhancement in the stochastic phase estimation remains largely unexplored. Here we propose a method utilizing the SU(1,1) interferometer and coherent input states to estimate a stochastic optical phase. As an example, we investigate the Ornstein-Uhlenback stochastic phase. We analyze the performance of this method for three key estimation problems: prediction, tracking and smoothing. The results show significant reduction of the mean square error compared with the Mach-Zehnder interferometer under the same photon number flux inside the interferometers. In particular, we show that the method with the SU(1,1) interferometer can achieve the fundamental quantum scaling, the stochastic Heisenberg scaling, and surpass the precision of the canonical measurement.

The use of squeezing and entanglement allows advanced interferometers to detect signals that would otherwise be buried in quantum mechanical noise. High sensitivity instruments including magnetometers and gravitational wave detectors have shown enhan ced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by injecting single-mode squeezed light into SU(2) interferometers, e.g. the Mach-Zehnder or Michelson topologies. The quantum enhancement in this approach is sensitive to losses, which break the fragile quantum correlations in the squeezed state. In contrast, SU(1,1) interferometers achieve quantum enhancement by noiseless amplification; they noiselessly increase the signal rather than reducing the quantum noise. Prior work on SU(1,1) interferometers has shown quantum-enhanced SNR11 and insensitivity to losses but to date has been limited to low powers and thus low SNR. Here we introduce a new interferometer topology, the SU(2)-in-SU(1,1) nested interferometer, that combines quantum enhancement, the high SNR possible with a SU(2) interferometer, and the loss tolerance of the SU(1,1) approach. We implement this interferometer using four-wave mixing in a hot atomic vapor and demonstrate 2:2(5) dB of quantum SNR enhancement, in a system with a phase variance nearly two orders of magnitude below that of any previous loss-tolerant enhancement scheme. The new interferometer enables new possibilities such as beyond-shot-noise sensing with wavelengths for which efficient detectors are not available.

We theoretically study the phase sensitivity of the SU(1,1) interferometer with a coherent light together with a squeezed vacuum input case using the method of homodyne. We find that the homodyne detection has better sensitivity than the intensity de tection under this input case. For a certain intensity of coherent light (squeezed light) input, the relative phase sensitivity is not always better with increasing the squeezed strength (coherent light strength). The phase sensitivity can reach the Heisenberg limit only under a certain moderate parameter interval, which can be realized with current experiment ability.
In an unseeded SU(1,1) interferometer composed of two cascaded degenerate parametric amplifiers, with direct detection at the output, we demonstrate a phase sensitivity overcoming the shot noise limit by 2.3 dB. The interferometer is strongly unbalan ced, with the parametric gain of the second amplifier exceeding the gain of the first one by a factor of 2, which makes the scheme extremely tolerant to detection losses. We show that by increasing the gain of the second amplifier, the phase supersensitivity of the interferometer can be preserved even with detection losses as high as 80%. This finding can considerably improve the state-of-the-art interferometry, enable sub-shot-noise phase sensitivity in spectral ranges with inefficient detection, and allow extension to quantum imaging.
We theoretically investigate the phase sensitivity with parity detection on an SU(1,1) interferometer with a coherent state combined with a squeezed vacuum state. This interferometer is formed with two parametric amplifiers for beam splitting and rec ombination instead of beam splitters. We show that the sensitivity of estimation phase approaches Heisenberg limit and give the corresponding optimal condition. Moreover, we derive the quantum Cramer-Rao bound of the SU(1,1) interferometer.
